You couldn't make this up if you tried...

The nuts and bolts is that the Home Office has been fined £366,900 for breaking its own paycap for paying the "inquiry chief" when it appointed the head of a child sex abuse inquiry. It has has been beset by problems since its inception with its first two chairs, Lady Butler-Sloss and Dame Fiona Woolf, stepping down before beginning their work. The inquiry's chief lawyer, Ben Emmerson, resigned last year but Prof Jay has insisted it is continuing with its work.
In short - more waste of our (= taxpayers) money!
I know the ins and outs are complex - the enquiry is now up to it's fourth chair but frankly I pay taxes to prevent such shambolic processes. I expect to see that situations like this are dealt with by my parliamentary representatives - legally, PROFESSIONALLY and properly!
