Half their money is still 8 million pounds. Even if they sold it today at the same price they would be down 2 million pounds in stamp duty.
I would also find it bad if they allocated a 2 million grant to something I found dubious, like highly expensive vacation retreats for CEA members or something. If you take the “$5000 to save a life” figure seriously, that’s money could have saved hundreds of lives. It’s still the kind of money that requires thorough justification, at the very least.
