Not Cuts Watch #1: Government Wine

09 Aug 2010, by Richard Exell in Politics

Tom Watson MP has written to the Prime Minister, asking him to publish the contents of the Ministerial Wine Cellar – something the Foreign Office has refused to do. In June, the Government spent £18,000 re-fuelling, and the stock is now worth £864,000.

Replacing it with a supply of Chateau Thames Embankment would pay for:

• The Alma Road Care Centre in Peterborough; or
• Delivering free school meals in Derby; or
• All the youth centres that are currently being cut in Sussex.

Trebles all round!
