Dear Mr Hedley,
Thank you for the email in which you requested information under the Freedom of Information Act.
For questions 1 to 3 please see attached document which shows our response.
For question 4, this figure is difficult to produce as budgets change constantly and are reviewed on a monthly basis against actual spend. Budgets change during the year to take recognition if one area is over or under budget.
Regards
Michael
