Dear Sir or Madam,
Can you please detail, for each year since your public website was
launched, how much money has been spent on creating, developing,
and running it.
Where possible, please break these costs out by function (for
example, development, design, updates, changes, hosting,
co-location, domain registration, licensing etc). Where the costs
have been incurred with external providers, please list the company
in question. For internal staff time, if this is not recorded
and/or charged explicitly, please provide estimates based on
salary/overheads of people involved.
Yours faithfully,
Nick

Dear Jacqui,
Thank you for this information. In my original request I had asked
that where costs have been incurred with an outside company that
that company be named, but this information does not appear to have
been provided.
Was this a simple oversight or has that part of my request been
rejected?
Can you also confirm whether the hosting costs include domain name
registration costs, as most sites have a separate charge for that?
If so, is it possible to break this charge out (perhaps from an
invoice, contract, or some other correspondence with the hosting
provider)?
Yours sincerely,
Nick
