Brighton and Hove City Councillors used to approve annual budgets for all departments which authorised specific provision for the purchase of "office equipment", which included furniture.
You report (The Argus, September 2) David Panter's use of his entertainment credit card to buy two armchairs for his office.
Surely this isn't a suggestion that the chief executive is demonstrating how to evade proper budgetary controls by making office purchases under the guise of entertainment, is it?
