New photo Watchdogs slam Bank of England for ‘breaking rules’ when spending £10million of public cash

WATCHDOGS have blasted the Bank of England over the way it spent £10million of public cash.

The Government-owned bank also has 800 unused desks at its London HQ and more than 700 job titles.

The Bank plans to go for more desk sharing – but not till February 2020, after new technology has been rolled out.

The National Audit Office says the bank broke its own rules when it allowed 200 purchases above £25,000 to go through without being signed off.

It said up to £200,000 could have been saved on £2million of the deals, many relating to IT.

The report comes just days after the bank, under governor Mark Carney, announced changes to its expenses ­policy. MPs had slammed costs run up by officials, including £11,000 on a flight.

The NAO said the Bank must “transform” its central services department to meet a self-imposed £476million annual costs cap.

NAO head Amyas Morse said the BoE had “rightly recognised” its central services needed reform.

He added: “The bank should not underestimate the scale of change required.

“Improvements will only be possible if staff across the Bank are encouraged to embrace a more cost-conscious culture.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
