Four, up to now, Government Departments have declared they are going to be over budget.

Well, who would have thought.   The one that stands out for me is the Department for Enterprise.   What possible excuse can they have ? just bad management and decisions.

I wonder how the pursuit of owed monies from Cube is going, we must be up to £250k with the accruing interest by now.

Have any Govt departments done anything that would realistically reduce their costs?

Allinson declares that cost-cutting measures are being examined and financial discipline is being upheld.

Measures to mitigate the current fiscal position are expansion of the civil service/PS (on the grounds of increasing revenue), protection of civil service T&Cs and superannuation and the plundering of the NI Fund and increasing burden on the taxpayer to fund it all

What could possibly go wrong?
