£130 million refurbishment bill for Jack Straw's new offices
The Ministry of Justice has been accused of wasting a "colossal" amount of taxpayers' money after spending more than £130 million refurbishing an old office block for its new headquarters.
At around a £1,000 per square foot to refurbish, and almost 20 times more expensive than it needed to be (more dodgy contracts?), I feel that genuine questions can be raised. However, that right idiot Nick Herbert is wrong to suggest that instead the government "might have used this money to prevent the early release of prisoners". Is the circus short of a clown, or is Nick Herbert appearing in a pantomime this Christmas?
