[QUOTE=ORAC;11437091]Have they really only just noticed? 🙄🙄
No, they acknowledged receipt of a submission stating this, dated 16 February 2012. Margaret Hodge was chair at the time.
At the request of the Defence Committee Chair (James Arbuthnot), this was followed up by a more detailed submission on 19 December 2013.
And God knows how many before that.
