Dear

Request for Information - reference 3126

I refer to your request for information relating to money or gifts in kind made by the Welsh Assembly Government to Common Purpose for the last three years.

We have no record of any money, other than for services provided, or gifts in kind made by the Welsh Assembly Government to Common Purpose. Details of payments made for services provided have been disclosed in response to your further request for information on money spent on Common Purpose training programmes (Request for Information reference 3125).

Your request was considered according to the principles set out in the Assembly Government's Code of Practice on Public Access to Information (third edition). The Code is published on the Internet at www.information.wales.gov.uk. If you prefer, I can send you a printed copy.

If you believe that I have not applied the Code of Practice on Public Access to Information correctly or have not followed the relevant laws, please contact me to request a first stage review. If, after that, you are still not satisfied you may request a formal review by the Assembly Government. When dealing with any concerns, we will follow the Assembly Government's Code of Practice on Complaints which is available on the Internet at www.wales.gov.uk or by post.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. Normally, however, you should pursue the matter through our internal procedure before you complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
