Labour: 'Axe civil service bonuses'

Mar 11 2010

Civil servants pocketed £1.3 million in bonuses over a nine-month period at the height of the recession, official figures revealed.

The "performance payout" was shared between about 225 Scottish Government senior civil servants between April and December of last year.

These bonuses have topped £1 million in each of the past four years, according to Government figures released under freedom of information.
