They are one of the most profligate departments. See this article for how they believe they should spend money.<br /><br />http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hopeless-phillips-condemned-for-equality-watchdog-spending-1754397.html<br /><br />Trevor Phillips is the man who deserves to get shot of.
