Cost of 2010/2011 Fireworks Display
Dear Her Majesty's Treasury,
After watching the very impressive fireworks display, I wondered how much it cost?
I would like to know the cost of:
1) The Raw Fireworks
2) The cost all told for the event, labour, fireworks etc.
If you do not have the actual figure an estimate would be brilliant.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
A.C.A. Foster

There is a tendency to think that the Treasury knows everything with a £ on it. We don't have this information but I know a man who does!
This is the responsibility of the Greater London Authority and the Mayor of London. You can find more information on their website - http://www.london.gov.uk/ For instance I found the attached document - though the figures there may not reflect final costs.

Hope this is helpful. If you feel we have not met our obligations under the Act you can ask for a review.
