Dear Sir or Madam,

To ask how much was spent by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
for i) security ii) transport iii) in total, in order for the
British State to be properly represented at the funeral of the late
John Paul II.

The period of time does not have to be restricted to within a few
days before and after. But as broad as possible.

To further ask if any official note of thanks was recieved from
Vatican City in relation to this attendance.

Yours faithfully,

Alastair Manderson
