Soteria CHC Bid Bust
Dear Georgina,
I was fascinated to read about the latest waste of money, in effect 10 million pounds, by the present and former British governments on the privatisation - or not - of the Search and Rescue services. Cancelled after it was discovered there was an element of ‘insider trading’ in the Soteria bid. In spite of this fiasco, we are told that the co-alition still wants to see search and rescue services privatised but admits the cancellation will leave a ‘capability gap’.
Is our government totally lost when it comes to working with the armed forces and their replacements? Do they have no understanding at all of continuity of service? We have a trained force already working in the field.... |
