Dear Charlie Forman / Laura Brand

Thank you for your response of 22nd April to my FOI request
(1-1136610-Battsworth__Charles_20090422_FOI_Response.doc )

However I am disappointed that you have chosen to provide none of
the information requested on the grounds that researching a
comprehensive response would exceed the maximum time allowed.

I had hoped that LBH would have a mechanism for identifying and
tracking expenditure related to the 2012 Olympics but your response
makes it clear this is not the case. I will attempt to reformulate
my request, but this is almost impossible without detailed
knowledge of the scope and nature of all the Council's Olympics
related activities.

Meanwhile as suggested in your previous response, I would
appreciate it if you could supply:
Statements of accounts for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Unit ;
Details of expenditure/receipts relating to the '5 Boroughs Unit'.

Yours sincerely,

Charles Batsworth
