Nicola Sturgeon's civil servants billed public for curling, crazy golf, laser games and play dough
Civil servants blew public money on curling, crazy golf and a trip to Edinburgh Zoo to help staff bond with each other.
Despite the Government complaining of a lack of money, public servants found the cash to shell out £351 at “Da Steak Hoose” - popular with meat lovers. Another £204 was spent for a laser tag away day in woodlands near Edinburgh and public cash was used for staff to go to escape rooms in Glasgow. Other outings involved a bonding session at the Royal Botanical Gardens, £80 for curling and £148 for a “bus and boat tour” in Edinburgh.
Lib Dem finance spokesperson John Ferry said: "With households battening down the hatches and enduring choppy financial seas, the Scottish Government must make sure that it is squeezing every penny to help Scots. Officials also spent £6.29 on a book called ‘Why Does Everything Always Go Wrong?’ and £2.99 on I’m Not Good Enough by Chris Williams.
