Rees-Mogg says empty Whitehall offices are ‘cost to taxpayer’

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I hope I am not being over cynical, but I can see that the next line will read:-

"Rees Mogg rents out vacant offices through his off shore company and sleeps on the profits".

Good old Rees Mogg, anything to save the tax payer from subsidising losses.

Cheers!

Offices still have to be lit, heated and cleaned, whether there's 1 person or 100 people in it.

So yes, there is a cost.

Lighting, heating, and cleaning are all ongoing costs, not sunk costs.

can they get out of paying them? Or reduce them ?

If they are committed to, regardless of building use, then they're sunk.
