Shelved asylum centre cost £29m

Shelved asylum centre cost £29m

The Home Office has been criticised by a group of MPs for spending £29m on an asylum accommodation centre which was never even built.

Over £6m was paid to consultants for work on the proposed site at Bicester, in Oxfordshire, a report has revealed.

A termination fee of almost £8m was also paid to the contractor when the scheme was cancelled
.

Is it any wonder the country is in a mess when the government cocks up grand style like this and the public has to pay for the mistakes and nobody is held accountable for the fiasco?

The Government is just copying the antics of their American masters in bilking the Iraqi purse.
Where has the money gone?
