Given that one of the reports was written by the now ousted interim chairman Keith Stewart, and the other jointly by a Local Government Association representative and an independent financial adviser, it has to be asked why the costs of these investi- gations are so staggeringly high.
This tourism agency continues to be funded with taxpayers’ cash and much further transparency is required in relation to these costs if Welcome to Yorkshire is to show it has moved on from the reckless spending of the past.
