DEFRA spending on management consultants

Earlier on, Iain highlighted Tony Blair's lack of knowledge of his own e-petitions after he said he knew nothing about cuts to Waterways by DEFRA even though one of the most popular petitions on the Downing Street website is about precisely that subject.

It should probably be no wonder that DEFRA has to cut the Waterways budget though. Not only is there the problem that it has totally balls up the single payment subsidy to farmers, but it was revealed in a written answer that since 2002 DEFRA has spent a staggering £169,146,043 on management consultants.

Who needs canals when you've got consultants?
