Default Clutch Drag

Me again!
As said before my tuner said that I am suffering from clutch drag, but I don't understand why. Can someone explain?

When driving the clutch engages at the end of travel. When in neutral, if I depress the clutch engine revs drop by about 300 rpm. But why? As the car is in neutral and not engaged to anything why should revs drop off when it is depressed?

The car is fitted with a new MG B clutch in favour of the original item, which I was told isn't quite upto the mark.

Sunny days & smoking exhaust!

Regards, Peter
