The request was successful.

From: Matt Townsend

26 February 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

I request under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 the following
and would be grateful for any response.

The sum in total, if any, spent on licences for or purchase of
Microsoft Office software during each of the last two available
either
financial or calendar years.

Please note the figures I am interested in are specifically for
Microsoft Office licences and software, not other Microsoft
software.

What amount of this was for software used in schools?

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Matt Townsend

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please can you confirm if you have received my FOI request and if
it is being handled?

You can see a copy of it here:

It is now over the legal deadline for when I should have received a
response so I believe Gwynedd Council are now breadking the law. I
assume this is just an administrative error.

Yours sincerely,

Matt Townsend
