Home Office Minister Shares Scandal

The Mail on Sunday has uncovered another financial scandal within the sleaze ridden New Labour government. The article is linked from here and the following is a brief extract: Although friends of Mr Byrne said the shares were worth very little, it was clear last night that, thanks to the firm's police contracts, they were in fact worth many times their original nominal value of £1,050, or just 5p each. If the company continued to grow and was floated on the Stock Exchange, their value could soar to millions of pounds.
