"Why have senior officers been allowed to move to and from companies involved in the [Barnet outsourcing] tender process? There have been concerns raised about this for a year and a half, and nothing has been done about it, other than the repetitions of assurance that all officers are obliged to make declarations of interest.

"... It should be noted that, of course, the individual officers who have taken employment with these companies are doing nothing unlawful, nor were such moves in breach of any council regulations - because there were none in place.

"The message is clear: please don't ask any awkward questions, Mrs Angry - this is the House of Fun, and we intend to carry on having fun, as long as we possibly can."
