"The Home Office came under fire today over its luxurious new £311 million headquarters. The site features £1.4 million of artworks, office chairs costing £500 each and "study cubicles" where civil servants can go to be alone.
For that price, critics argue, the Government could have built five children's hospitals, 15 secondary schools or paid the salaries of an extra 314 police officers for the next 25 years."
