Is there any reason why the publishing of EDDC’s employee statistics is two months late?

The last year has seen a substantial rise in employee numbers, particularly senior officers, with growth of between twenty and thirty new staff, depending upon which measure you prefer.

With average wages for senior staff at EDDC at £30,000+, plus all additional costs such as pensions, expenses, etc., this brings the cost per employee to around £50,000 per annum, this mean that the wage bill may have climbed by between £1 and £1.5 million. This was presumably not budgeted for, so where is the money coming from? More debt, perhaps?

And, of course, the extra staff will have to be housed in the new HQ … so maybe that will have to expand, too.
