Dear Robert MacLean

I write further to your email dated 10 July to the LSC Compliance Manager.

Thank you for advising us that you propose to complain to the LSC Council
Solicitor. As previously advised, you should write detailing the basis for
any complaint you might have to the Council Solicitor at the address
detailed in the LSC complaint procedure information supplied if you wish
the LSC to take forward an internal review. The Council's Solicitor
Office will then take this forward in accordance with the procedure.

Thank you for your response.

I will send your previous email to the Council Solicitor and treat this
as the original complaint as opposed to a copy as described in your
email.

The Council Solicitor will contact you in accordance with the procedure.

Dear Mr MacLean

I am writing further to your email to the Freedom of Information (FOI)
Compliance Manager dated 10 July 2008 in which you advise that you wish to
make a formal complaint about the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) in
relation to your request under FOI.

I believe you are already in possession of a copy of the Procedure for
dealing with complaints about the LSC. However, please find attached a
further copy for your reference. As you will see from the procedure, the
first stage before an investigation can commence is to agree a summary of
complaint. Please see below what I believe is an accurate summary of your
complaint about the LSC. If you agree, please advise me by return or
alternatively please make any amendments you feel necessary:

"I find it impossible to believe that the LSC has spent such a huge sum on
Common Purpose Training but cannot readily name those who benefited from
the expenditure."

Dear Mr MacLean

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that your additional wording is acceptable and therefore an
investigation into your complaint about the Learning and Skills Council
(LSC) will now commence.

In accordance with the procedure for dealing with complaints about the
LSC, you should receive final conclusions no later than 15 August 2008.
If for any reason there will be a delay, I will advise you accordingly.
