The adviser of a taxpayer funded company set up to help children in care is being paid £700 a day by the Scottish Government.
The Promise, which gets almost £3million of public money a year, has recently been criticised for its work for little youngsters while spending millions on plush offices, PR consultants and a slick website. The Sunday Mail reports that £2,055,500 of a £6.2million budget over two-and-a-half years has been spent on external contractors.
A source added: “There are too many expensive talking shops which operate so close to the government that they are unlikely to ever be too critical of ministers."
