The fiasco at the MOJ regarding the award
of a new contract for interpreter services to a twopenny halfpenny company only to be sold on a
couple of weeks later to Capita plc was our first insight into the total incompetence
of those senior civil servants at Petty France.
Their public humiliation at the hands of the Public Accounts Committee is
a most enduring piece of fly on the wall T.V. and is even more entertaining
than the fictional “Yes Minister”. Of
even more significance is the report in the Law Society Gazette in which the
Permanent Secretary admits that no research was done into the effects which
would follow cuts to civil legal aid.
The failings over the last four years at
the MOJ and the Home Office must surely reach back to the occupant at number
10. But hold on! All the good old British public is concerned
with is its free at the point of use NHS.
So come next May all will be well with that extra £2 billion while the
core of our society is held together with sticking plaster.
