The Home Office is spending millions of pounds a month on travel agents' fees to deport failed asylum seekers, according the most comprehensive breakdown of Whitehall spending ever produced.
The figures published today reveal every item of expenditure in every Government department over £25,000 since the Coalition came to power – and in some cases even smaller bills.
Ways that taxpayers’ money was spent included:
* Cabinet Office contracts worth £88,000 with the law firm where Nick Clegg’s wife, Miriam, is a partner
* A £170,000 bottled water bill at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
