Cost of aborted plane feasibility studies unbelievable and outrageous - Baker
3 July 2008


Mr Norman Baker

Commenting on figures that show feasibility studies into aborted plans to buy two private jets to carry Gordon Brown and the Royal Family cost £1.25m, Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, Norman Baker said:

"This is unbelievable and outrageous. Gordon Brown is burning money like a jet plane burns fuel.

"How on earth can it cost over £1 million just to decide whether or not to buy a plane? I could have told them the answer for nothing - don’t."
