Thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

Dear Mr MacLean

I write in response to your Freedom of Information request, dated 19
June 2008, in which you request details of the total expenditure by the
General Teaching Council (for England) on 'Common Purpose' courses and
any invoices resulting from these courses.

The GTC has not used 'Common Purpose' courses and therefore there is no
expenditure or invoice documentation to disclose to you.

Yours Sincerely

Stephen Goldsby
