MPs attack £2bn consultants bill
The government spends nearly £2bn a year on external consultants, often without adequately measuring value for money, a committee of MPs has said.
Whitehall spent £1.8bn of the public sector's £2.8bn bill for 2005-6, a 33% rise in three years, the report said.
Public Accounts Committee chairman Edward Leigh said tighter controls could save £500m a year.
The government said there were a "great many" projects which had been delivered successfully using consultancies.
The report said only the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Work and Pensions had shown a "consistent decrease" in spending on consultants since 2003-4.

We got a big DTI tender contract latter part of last year and when we had a meeting with them in their plush offices in London, I commented on ways we could reduce their outgoing. I was given a swift answer of 'we dont care, its not our money'.
If it wasnt for the risk of losing the contract I would have said 'You bloody well should care'
Working for big goverment concerns really is an eye opener but the trouble is they really dont care.
