In an answer to Parliament yesterday, Tony McNulty, Minister for Policing, Security and Community Safety, admitted that a total of £3,997,200 had been wasted on the police force mergers that never happened. The table presented to Parliament shows that the police forces to be merged had spent around £6.5m on preparatory work but the Government placed a cap of 100,000 on there claims when the policy was scrapped.

This is in the local Norwich paper today too, which is Charles Clarke's constituency. I don't think he repents or sees the error of his ways at all. Talk about thick skinned, and that's being kind.
Its just like a mechanic fiddling with your car, throwing all the bits back in, and sending you the bill. Utter waste of time and cash
Police mergers. EUssr regionalization through the back door.
