Sickening - Bonuses still paid to UKBA Staff
One in four senior civil servants at the troubled UK Border Agency received bonuses of up to £7,000 last year, figures showed today.
Despite criticism over border controls and the backlog of asylum seeker a fifth took home a bonus of between £4,500 and £5,000, while one in 25 pocketed bonuses of between £5,000 and £7,000 for work carried out in 2010/11.
The figures were released by the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee.
The sums were paid out despite the a recommendation in January 2011 from the committee, which is chaired by Labour MP Keith Vaz, that no bonuses should be paid to senior staff.
Today Mr Vaz called for the practice of making pay-outs "in the midst of failures" to cease.
But Dame Helen Ghosh, the Permanent Secretary at the Home Office, said the data showed that the percentage and size of bonuses paid to staff have "reduced substantially" over the last four years.
