Dear FOI Team,
Thanks for the info!
I can only see £40 billion of the £50 billion answer given in the original request?
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/7...
Please clarify?
Can you respond in the same format as in the original request below?
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transpare...
Social media has a great interest in your data, recently had 189,000 impressions about data originating from and related to GDP (happy to provide the stats if interested, just provide an email to send to!)
Yours sincerely,
Mary Jones
Dear FOI Team,
Spent time reading your response and the other £10bn is clearly explained.
No further action required.
However the link to
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/7...
Sometimes opens & other times not (tested on numerous machines & browsers)
Providing the same format as below as the answer (to the £40 billion allocations to country & regions) would be very useful to social media users to be able to get to the data with the least effort and most surety.
Every item mentioned / tweeted from ONS is always provided with a link back to original source.

Yours sincerely,
Mary Jones
