One of the more interesting Freedom of Information requests on the 'What Do They Know?' website has finally been answered, that of the MIPIM 2009 expenses.
I make it a net cost of £90,258 (including 'tax' which is apparently reclaimable, although they neglect to mention how much that would be).
Check my arithmetic by looking here. There's quite a bit more detail including names of attendees.
Don't know if I'm a bit slow on the uptake but what do we get from this?
ReplyDeleteI know it's about inward investment (isn't it?) but how does the City judge whether this jaunt is actually value for money? And, if they do, where do they publish the figures?
