How can an enquiry cost millions? A few people looking at a bunch of records going back over a decade or so.
That costs millions?
How?
Maybe it's the same way that a bus stop costs more to put up than a conservatory.
This should cost up to a million but you have to times by 10 so that you can buy in the big reels of red tape.
Sorted.
Millions wasted on red tape, assistants and expenses.
Fact: Train crashed.
Why? I don't know, let's have an enquiry.
How many people does it really take to find this out?
Not hundreds.
And how long does it take? Not years.
If it does then there's something seriously wrong with the people that they're overpaying to come to these conclusions!
More often that not there's a simple answer too.
The train crashed because the track was broken. The track was broken because there isn't a proper plan in action to find and replace dodgy parts of track.
Enquiry closed.
As I say, it depends on the enquiry. If you have hundreds of people working for a couple of years, it's going to add up.
As you haven't said what the enquiry was on I can't say whether it was worth it, but if it was something serious then is it not worth spending the money to get the answers?
I'd like to know exactly how doing this can total millions of pounds?
It doesn't require expensive equipment, just researching stuff, asking questions.
Somebody tell me exactly what would cost so much?
And does it really cost £8000 to build a wall?
If it's for some major accident where 100's of people died, then yes it seems reasonable.
If it's just to see how much taffic goes along a road each day, then no, it's blatantly well over the top.
No enquiry should cost millions should it?
Where do these ridiculous figures come from?
Am I really supposed to believe that the local council spent £8000 repairing the charch wall?
