Mid Beds MP Misses Key Point over County Council's Commitment of Taxpayers' Money to Support Nirah Scheme
Bedford Borough Liberal Democrats have responded to comments from the Conservative MP for Mid Beds in which she lamented the council tax money spent on the Nirah Project by pointing that it was her party colleagues, as the ruling group on the County Council, who took the decisions to hand the money over. The Lib Dems have cited the case as yet another example of the Tories' "relaxed attitude to frittering away massive amounts of taxpayers' money."
