Civil servants paid £128 million in bonuses
Civil servants have been paid more than £128 million in bonuses over the past year, new figures show.
Civil Servants have been paid more than £128 million in bonuses over the past year, figures obtained by the Conservatives show.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) paid out £41 million to civilian staff and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) awarded £36 million.
The payments have been condemned as "rewards for failure" by the Conservatives, who pointed to a string of high-profile failures across government departments. But a Whitehall spokesman said the bonuses ensured that civil servants "go that extra mile".
Meanwhile, the rest of us have to suffer...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
