There was some consternation among Guido Fawkes readers when it was revealed the Department for Work and Pensions has spent £7.6 million on translators and interpreters for benefit claimants.
That provoked me to check bankrupt Birmingham City Council’s spending and it turns out in the past two years, the local taxpayers have forked out £916,800 under the same two headings.
In all, £716,000 went on translation and £200,800 on interpreters in Birmingham in the two years to June. Which makes you wonder how much money is being spent all over the country and what languages are involved. I somehow doubt if Spanish or French are much called for.
