London bonuses revealed

More than £3 million was handed out as bonuses to local government officials in London in 2022, a TaxPayers' Alliance investigation revealed. This included payments of as much as £2,200 per person from the Greater London Authority to staff working on the Queen's funeral. The largest bonus bill of London councils was Camden, which paid out £1.2 million as part of a "reward and recognition scheme."
