Dear Mr Price

Request for information

In your first email of 11 March, you asked for details of money spent - either directly by the Commission or through an expenses claim - on flights for Tony Redmond since his appointment as LGO.

The cost of complying with providing all the information set out in your request will exceed the current appropriate fees limit, as set out in Section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act and the Fees Regulations, which is £450. I am therefore unable to supply you with the information requested.

That concludes my response. If you feel I have not dealt properly with your request, you have the right to appeal and, should you wish to do so, I can supply a copy our internal complaints procedure. If you do request an internal review - can you please indicate why you are unhappy with my response. You also have the right to apply to the Information Commissioner to determine whether your request has been properly dealt with. You should note however that the Commissioner will not consider any complaint where you have not first exhausted our internal complaints process or where there has been undue delay in contacting him. You will be able to obtain further details of the Information Commissioner's role from the website on www.ico.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely

Hilary Pook
