By Appointment - Accountant To HMG

According to the Telegraph, yet more questions arise over the matter of Government Ministers - and others - having their accountant's fees paid out of public funds.

"None of the accountancy profession’s qualification bodies – the Institute of Chartered Accounts in England and Wales, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants nor the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants – said Mr Bates was registered."

One can but not be surprised if Master Bates (sorry Mr!) hopes that his Munn(y) gets re-elected!
