News from Richard Barnbrook: Metropolitan Police Translations costs

BNP GLA Assembly member Richard Barnbrook questioned Mayor Boris Johnson last month on the unsustainably high cost of translations being met by the Metropolitan Police budget.

Even Boris seemed surprised at the huge £10,663,064 cost. Commented Richard “with public sector money about to be slashed across the board, it seems ridiculous that spends on Translation costs can go up unchecked and called for these high costs to be reduced. He further added “it is incumbent on those that come here to live and work that they should speak and be able to understand a modicum of English”!

End.
