Minister Steven Norris to list items stolen from the Department of Transport in the past three years. Turned out to be an extensive list.
Items gone walkabout included 30 computers (worth £28,255), one cliff clogger (eh?), 23 beacons, three fire extinguishers, 25 microwave ovens, four vacuum cleaners, one hire car (£9,090), three televisions, eight fax machines (£5,537), one motorcycle (X2,884), one safe (is nothing safe?), two lifejackets, one pair of Wellingtons, four rescue suits, one rescue buoy and two stretchers.
And much more besides, including three emission analysers. Handy for anyone thinking of setting up a privatised VI centre.
Naturally, the Minister could offer no reasonable explanation.
