Sir Philip Green, the head of clothing retailer Arcadia Group, has been asked by prime minister David Cameron to lead an external efficiency review into government spending. He will scrutinise government spending over the past three years to identify inefficiencies and potential savings.
I would not have put the two parties together. Whilst Sir Philip is very well known for knowing every detail of his cost base, he does lead a very lavish lifestyle as the reward for doing this. So on reflection I think it is an inspired choice and I would love to know who negotiated the contract with him and what his fee is (if there are both of course!).
