Todays BBC news concerned MoD £22 light bulbs that are actually 'worth' 65p.

In my own little world, I was booked into a hotel for a duty travel overnight stop next week. Booked via HRG the cost (B&B) is £70. I went online and could have got the same for £59 without even trying for MoD discount. All these companies involved in procurement, development, flight testing, research, hotel bookings, white fleet MT, etc etc are taking the MoD budget for a ride.

The BritMil Plc would have better spent their energy in finding savings from financial wastage rather then the Payroll IMHO. ....and a day away would be far better financed by Sqn GPC and Std Rates for subsistance; it would save a fortune.
