Of course, there are the other stories about continued scandals regarding to UK MP’s/MEP’s expenses misuse and the MoD contract for Chinook Helicopters which came with inappropriate software and have been in storage (at cost) for several years now - an aside, the person who signed the contract is allegedly very difficult to locate.
