Dear Sir or Madam,
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I seek the following
information about the Department's staffing and funding for
publicity and communications (including any contracted-out services
of this description). I would like this information broken down
annually for the past three years up to the time this request is
answered. The years may be financial or calendar, whichever is
convenient, but please keep them consistent.
Specifically, I need:
1. The number of staff (full-time equivalent) working in marketing,
external communications and press offices.
2. The number of dedicated Freedom of Information officers
(full-time equivalent).
3. Total staffing cost of marketing, external communications and
press officers.
4. Total staffing cost of dedicated Freedom of Information staff.
5. Total spending on marketing, external communications and press
offices.
6. Total spending on Freedom of Information.
7. If the department produces a newsletter then the name of this
publication and all associated costs.
Some parts of this request may be easier to answer than others, and
should this prove to be the case I would ask that you release
available data as soon as possible rather than hold up the entire
request.
I would prefer to receive this information electronically. If the
decision is made to withhold some of this data using exemptions in
Act, please inform me of that fact and cite the exemptions used.
If you need any clarification then please contact me at the number
above or via email. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice
and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this
request unmanageable in any way.
I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have
received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in
the near future.
Regards, Heather Brooke
