Just in case you were wondering, you know those different regional "Government Office of..." that exist across the country and are essentially quangos as part of the regionalisation requirements for the EU? Well guess what. They cost a lot of money. For example, the Government Office of the South West, which employs 273 people cost £14,684,860 to run last year. Next year the staffing costs alone are expected to be £10.51 million.
It doesn't take a maths genius to see that doesn't actually leave them with very much money to spend when their staffing costs account for over 70% of their actually spending. There are eight other Government Offices in the country and the total staffing costs is a mere £93.75 million. What a bargain!

yeah but worse than that - they do not actually achieve anything apart from employ lots of people to do lots things that have very little impact!
I `m suprise its as little as that actually Dizzy
Ah, but they are essential for effectively delivering the governments agenda for zzzzzzzz....
These were all set up by the Major Government.
The point being what exactly? Please don't tell me you're saying it in order to say "well it's all the Tories fault anyway" because that would just be weak and doesn't change the fact that they're a complete waste of money. Oh yes, and don't say you weren't trying to make that idiotic argument either, because it's as transparent as Paris Hilton's underwear in One Night in Paris.
