Failure shouldn’t be rewarded says Wilson
Sammy Wilson has criticised for MET Office for awarding £12.3million in bonus payments in the last 5 years. The figure was revealed to him through a parliamentary question.
The East Antrim MP said that an organisation which got its predictions so badly wrong shouldn’t be handing out bonuses to its staff.
He said:
“The Met Office has failed in regards to their predictions. Their short, medium and long range forecasts have been consistently inaccurate. On November 28th last year the Met Office declared that we were heading for a ‘milder than average’ winter. In fact it was the coldest for 30 years. Summer 2009 was going to be a ‘barbecue summer’ but it was a washout, as were many summers over the last few years, all of which the Met Office failed to predict.
