MOD & Common Purpose
The Ministry of Defence declares that 39 'Senior and Fast Stream' staff have been Common Purpose trained. The MOD appears to be pushing the fact that senior and 'better quality staff' have been selected for Common Purpose training. Just what are MOD staff doing aligning themselves with a pro EU political charity. They should not be connected with any political organisations. How many meetings are these people having under Chatham House rules of secrecy?
DLO declares £37,000 spent on CP training as at 2005. Their letter seems a little uncertain quoting "on the information we have available". Is information being witheld from Freedom of Information release? CP operates under the Chatham House rule for secrecy in meetings. How can this be justified within a national defence organisation?
Ministry Defence admits to spending over £308,500. This does not include benefits such as venues, meals or support staff time.

CP Expanding Your networks Programme Day hosted by Col Nick Turner British Army at Chetwynd Barracks 27 September 2005. Content concerns "diverse approaches to leadership" , "leadership in Action", and networking across the region. The full day will almost certainly have been paid for by the MOD, and thus provides a FREE venue and lunch for CP paid for by the taxpayer.
