Dear Freedom Of Information,

Before I appeal this to the Information Commissioner, I'll give you a chance to do an internal review.

a. Devon and Cornwall Constabulary were asked the same question and provided a list of Common Purpose graduates: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/co...

Why can't you do the same?

b. We are talking about public funds. The public has a right to know how their taxes are spent and upon whom they are spent. The excuse that you give is totally spurious. The Common Purpose courses are of direct benefit to the individual themselves and will also enhance their skills and help them do their jobs better.

2. I am outraged that the Norfolk police are so deceitful and devious as to try to avoid answering a perfectly straightforward and reasonable question. Has Common Purpose been coaching you on how to avoid answering FOI questions?

3. I make a further FOI request as follows:

Reference: Common Purpose courses for each of the following years: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 to date. Please supply a copy of the invoice for each Common Purpose course paid for by your organisation in those years.

Yours sincerely,

John Walker
