Dear Jane Kennedy (acting head of Corporate Governance and monitoring Office)

Could I request an internal review of the answer to my Freedom of Information Request (2011/1482)?
1) I believe The Welsh Assembly government passed on my original request to them? (below)
2) If this is the case. Could an explanation as to why question 2 was only answered, as in you reply (below)
3) As you picked question two to answer. Could an explanation as to why no monetary value was supplied with answer? Especially in the light of The Scala being several years open, with the Alternative Information Point 'active.' Namely computer, leaflet stands and desk area etc.
4) I believe you are missing the obvious Alternative Information Point (and old Tourist Information Centre) Now Café Cymru as run by Councillor Graham Percival and his Partner Lisa Cywinski. While I agree this designated AIP is closed for half the year. I believe some of the '£74,000' Tax Payers refit costs were designated to the build. It is those costs I enquired about.
5) Could I guide you towards the 106 Commuted sum agreement for the original Stadium (Prestatyn) Ltd development for a Tourist Information Center at the Scala Cinema and Arts Centre. Was that ever paid to the Scala, even though the obvious development and TIC never materialised?
6) And as an apology for taking over a month to answer just two simple questions resulted in such a poor and inaccurate answer. Could a decent answer to the time delay be supplied, please?

Dear Nicola Samuel,
I believe I'm asking for a review of the answer. The previous request for an internal review was for your handling of my FOIA request.
