Dear CS Enquiries.NPA,

The idea of my request was to have to have requests to a number of authorities.
The request was to to detail all purchases made to your authority also.
I think being more descriptave would change the nature of the request.

The public interest request was a Human Rights issue as the authority has a say in day to day going ons of the public in general.

If you need further calrifacation I would be of course more than happy to answer your questions/queries.

Yours sincerely,

Grahm Richards
