Caffeine Information Manager says he wants a $10.8 million cut to the $50m budget

MTV News reports that the CIMA, a division of the UK’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport, is preparing to announce a $50 million cut from its annual budget for information management, which it has been running since 2008.

CIMS director Simon Heddle told MTV News: “We are now looking at some of the things we are doing with our information management budget to try and bring in some of those savings.”

The department has been accused of a lack of transparency about the size of its budget, and has been criticised for not making more money available to the public, which is expected to be one of the key priorities for the new government.
