The latest spin.
Departments: Charities
Nick Harvey: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much Defence Estate (Aldershot) billed in liability charges for charity events held on his Department’s property since April 2005 to 2007. [152355]
Derek Twigg: The information requested will need to be collated and this will take a little time. I will write to the hon. Member and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
Substantive answer from Derek Twigg to Nick Harvey:

An MoD spokeswoman said: “We charge to recover insurance, maintenance and admin fees — and cannot differentiate charities from other organisations.”
WHY???
Insurance: let the event organisers arrange their own insurance.
Admin Fees: to administer the fees levied no doubt, and arrange insurance?!
Maintenance: surely a little in-house joke – it’s barely maintained for our own use!!
A little radical I know, but what is wrong with looking after our own?
Just a guess, but I suspect that the ‘MoD Spokeswoman’ will never have actually served a day in her life.
