his name is Jack Straw, he runs the Ministry of Justice in the UK, how do I know likes plants and flowers? he spent £34,235.79 on them for his offices last year, but I should not really single out Jack, after all The Department of Transport spent £90,820 - or £1,747 a week on them, that included £87,401 on pot plants and £3,419 on cut flowers. A spokeswoman admitted: "We recognise this figure is high." Lord Mandelson's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills spent £9,780 on pot plants and Labour's deputy leader and Leader of the House of Commons Harriet Harman, who has a tiny staff, blew £1,862.76.
message to flower lovers in the government, I know they are nice but please remember we are a small country and despite what you want to give away to the rest of the world we have a national debt of nearly £1 trillion,
but there is some good news, a treasury spokesman said the figure had been cut since 2006-7, so that's OK then!
