Phil,
I am really not sure what you are trying to achieve here but perhaps I need to clarify.
You were the elected CS IJD and were free to use your budget in any way you chose. When the new regime took over they were surprised to find that it was standard practice to give parents different financial amounts to attend the same overseas event. The quote of 300 Euros to one parent and nothing to another is correct. Parents were quite open about this and why shouldn't they be? This was the norm confirmed by you....
As I have said previously the new regime felt this was wrong, the practice was stopped and the International Junior Budget was then spent in a way that was felt all juniors benefitted from equally.

b) In my time as IJD hefty chunks of the budget were spent subsidising costs to the families of attending overseas events.
