Mr. Addison,
Thank you for your enquiry dated 12th August 2008 for information under the Freedom of
Information (FoI) Act 2000.
You asked:
how much money is used for conservation each year (for the last 20 years) and
who (names of organisations) that money is distributed to each year (for the last
5 years).
We interpret your request to mean how much public expenditure is incurred in this area.
HM Treasury does not hold this information; of necessity our information is at a more
strategic level. However, we have contacted Defra who confirm that they do hold
relevant information. You can put a request to them via the Defra helpline at
[email address]. You may wish to consider a more closely focussed
request, as conservation is a broad term encompassing aspects of biodiversity, habitat
protection and leisure amenity.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact us at the email account given in
the header to this letter, and it would help us, if you could remember to quote the IRU
reference number (also in the header) in any future communications.
