Asda is slashing 1,500 grocery delivery drivers' hourly pay by more than 12% despite the cost of living crisis.

The UK's third largest supermarket chain is ending a 1.50-an-hour premium introduced in the summer to help attract and retain drivers delivering groceries to homes from some London stores, including Charlton, Wembley and Colindale, as well as outlets in Bristol and the south coast.
