Calling the tune
Under the Freedom of Information Act, the Scottish arm of Pipedown has been informed that the Lothian & Borders Police alone paid some £17,275 (20012-13) for a similar arrangement and I wonder just how much Police Scotland is planning to spend entertaining their employees and those detained in custody?
It does seem strange that such expenditure is being incurred when police stations are being closed, but it also begs the question: just how much are we paying to enable other public service employees to be ‘entertained’ at their work place?
