It has been revealed that the MoD spent £714.18 getting a pair of non-urgent boots to a soldier in Northern Ireland.

A bit steep really. Surely it would have been cheaper to fly a civil servant to Ulster and deliver them by hand! At least the MoD can account for them unlike the £6Billion of unaccounted for kit!
I wonder what other gems of procurement are waiting to be exposed?
