Since it's been brought up, and is about 'funding', and therefore not off thread, I'd just like to point out that every time questions are asked, using the Freedom of Information Act, people have to drop the paid work they are employed to do by H.B.C., and leaving what they are primarily paid to do for us, spend many, many hours collating the requested information.

This means many people, in many different sections, are redeployed for days on end sometimes, in order to gather the information in the limited time frame, that the Act specifies.

All perfectly legal of course, and probably great fun for some.

Though probably not for the residents of Hyndburn, who suffer because other important work, done on their behalf, remains ignored.
