just weeks after it emerged infantrymen are living in squalid army-difficulty accommodation, new figures display the Ministry of Defence (MoD) spent £ninety one million of taxpayers’ coins on experts and solicitors.
in line with an research via the express newspaper, the MoD now has no fewer than 2,395 employees on its payroll and but spent huge sums on outdoor advice.
Andy Smith, head of the United Kingdom national Defence association (UKNDA) think tank, advised the specific: “For the MoD to be lavishing so much public cash on ‘consultancy’ is scandalous.”
The reviews come mere weeks after the influential Public Affairs Committee (percent) determined uk troops, who've already been subjected to mass redundancy beneath Tory rule, are dwelling in appalling conditions in privatized family housing.
A p.c report published in July pulled no punches in describing the shortcomings of the accommodation, at the same time as blasting both the MoD and its reduced in size personal housing issuer, CarillionAmey.
The committee accused both of “badly letting down carrier households,” whilst warning that failure to preserve the properties properly “can be driving some fantastically trained employees to leave the military, wasting the investment made in them.”
