Dear Mr Price

Request for information

In your email of 11 April you asked for details of the cost of flights taken by Jerry White in the year 2006/07, along with the destinations of the flights.

The Commission paid £766 for flights for Mr White on 25 September 2006 - this was for a flight to Vienna for the European Ombudsman conference and a flight to Belfast for a British and Irish Ombudsman Association event. I am afraid we do not have a split for the cost of the individual flights.

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
