| Subject: UK statist lunacy: Terrorist suspects under control orders have received more than £600,000 in taxpayers' money Tue Nov 17, 2009 4:06 am | |
| Home Office figures published in Parliament show that since April 2007, the department has spent £611,470 on “living costs” for people put under effective house arrest on the advice of MI5.
The money has been spent on accommodation, council tax, utility bills, telephone line rental, prepaid telephone cards, phone bills and “other subsistence," the Home Office said.
As well as living expenses, the Government is also paying some of the terror suspects undisclosed sums in benefits.
There are currently 13 people under control orders, controversial legal restraints on their movements and actions that are imposed because the security services say they pose a terrorist threat.
