The number of people on six-figure salaries at City Hall has nearly doubled in just over three years, it emerged today.

Boris Johnson was asked to explain figures which show that 28 staff members in the Greater London Authority are earning more than £100,000, compared with 16 three years ago.

The Mayor this week approved salary increases for two aides. Cultural adviser Munira Mirza has become mayoral adviser on culture and youth and has seen her salary go from £82,200 to £127,784, an increase of more than 50 per cent.

And Richard Blakeway, adviser for housing, has seen his salary increase by a third, from £82,200 to £110,000. In the document announcing the pay rises, the reason given for Mr Blakeway’s increase was “to ensure it is at a level commensurate with role and in line with other posts at that salary”
