if the £ falls in value against the euro this invalidates the goverment assurance that they are saving money by means of this contract with dhl.should a responsible goverment "guess"at the futures in the exchange rate?if the contract is in £ should the directors of dhl take this risk?is this not another example of short term "new labour"solutions?

yes it is and one we all will be paying for and our children's children and their's again. short-term fixes have long-term consequences. Labour always do this, overspend, then the tories have to stop the spending for damage limitation, inheriting a mess as usual.
