How Much Does It Cost To Change This, The Department For Communities And Local Government (DCLG),

to this, Communities and Local Government (CLG)? £24,765. apparently, rebranding it is called, with government departments awash with cash it appears that a a Minister decided that the name change was deemed necessary to ‘emphasise the mission of the department’, you may remember in 2 Jags Prescott's time he spent £645 of public money on a new brass plaque for his office, replacing a sign saying Office of the Deputy Prime Minister with one which read Deputy Prime Minister’s Office,
still small fry when you compare it to The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) it was renamed twice between 2005 and 2007 at a cost of £250,000,
earlier this year, Lord Mandelson decided to change its name for a third time to the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (DBIS), the Government refused to reveal how much it cost to create the new department, or to rebrand it, Caroline Spelman, Shadow Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, said: ‘This is a Whitehall farce at taxpayers’ expense' well said Caroline, all you have to do now is stop it!
