Dear Peter Havelock

The five applications received by the Council on 4th August as above have now been considered and this 
letter is a full response to your request as to whether particular staff have attended Common Purpose 
training courses and as to the amount of expenditure by a particular Directorate of the Council on 
Common Purpose training courses. 
 
The Council does not usually detail the training that individual staff have received, but I can confirm that 
none of these staff have been funded on any Common Purpose training courses by the Council. 
In addition the Development Directorate has not funded any other staff on training courses with the 
Common Purpose organisation in any other years. 
 
Therefore the Council does not hold the information that you have requested. 
 
Please note that the information supplied to you continues to be protected by the Copyright, Designs and 
Patents Act 1988. You are free to use it for your own purposes, including any non-commercial research 
you are doing and for the purposes of news reporting. Any other reuse such as commercial publication 
would require the permission of the Council. 
 
If you are not satisfied with the way your request has been handled you may ask for an internal review to 
take place. 
 
If you wish to discuss this letter or the information that is supplied then please contact me through the 
details above, but please leave a contact telephone number if I am unavailable.  
 
 
Yours sincerely
