Subject: Freedom of Information request - Fees Office/Operations Directorate Running Costs
From: Juliet Samuel <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>
To: FOICOMMONS <xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xx>


     Dear FOI Officer,

     I request that a copy of the following documents be provided to the
     Sunlight Centre for Open Politics.

     a) the Operations Directorate annual budget for all years
     2005-2009, including the breakdown of expected costs b) the
     Operations Directorate actual annual running costs for all years
     2005-2009, including the breakdown of all costs incurred (or as
     many as are available - I accept 2009 might not yet be available)

     Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public
     interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public
     understanding of the operations or activities of the government and
     it is not primarily in my commercial interest.

     By "Operations Directorate" I mean the House of Commons body
     responsible for administering MPs' expenses, commonly referred to
     in the press as the "Fees Office".

     Thank you for your consideration of this request.

     Yours faithfully,

     Juliet Samuel Sunlight Centre for Open Politics
