Request: 
Freedom of Information request - Scrutiny 
Your CEO is on record stating that her trip to America was funded by BT. 
If your CEO is correct and BT did in fact pay all her costs, I would like any and all 
information regarding Suffolk County Council's scrutiny of her American trip in 
light of her business negotiations with BT and the fact that BT are on record 
stating “Given the Public Sector rules on acceptance of hospitality and the 
reputation and benefits of the programme, clients pay their own flights and 
accommodation costs.” 
 
 
Response: 
The role of the Chief Executive within the relationship between the County 
Council and BT with regard to Customer Service Direct Ltd, is currently being 
reviewed as part of the investigation prompted by whistleblowing allegations.  It is 
not appropriate for the County Council to make any further comment at this time.
