There can't have been many staff at that Marco Pierre White dinner if the bill come to £471....

The logic behind getting private sector involvement in public sector work is always a bit dubious to me. I can see it working where competition is real but can people really make something run so effectively that not only do they run the service for less money but they also manage to make a profit themselves? It seems the efficiency is at the lower end of the organisation, i.e the staff, but at the top they're even more wasteful than the public sector.
