I see that Dundee City Council have to save 15 million pounds and one of their many proposals to go towards this total is to reduce civic receptions which would save 112,000 pounds per annum.
It is unlikely that the ?15m will mean that last year they spent say ?300m and this year they can only spend ?285m. There is an interesting thread in the sequel to the Day of the Jackal series where some mega rich people want to prevent the clear presentation of all wealth, and hire the hitman to kill the creator of the process.

Hiding wealth might be the next big crime as life follows fiction.
