Dear Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council's handling of my FOI request 'ESF process'.

2. Year on Year since the Programme started to the date of this request the total amount of funding received into the SFC budget (each financial year).

Please supply the dates this funding was received by the council for each financial year.

You referred me to your year end accounts, I note that for 2016/17 on P60 it states - £0 Income line European Social however for 2015/26 Fund Income was 5189.

To simplify matters please advise the total amount of ESF Funding the College Sector year on year received for the period in question? Additionally how much of of the funds allocated have the Funding Council reclaimed successfully year on year under the ESF program?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/e...

Yours faithfully,

John Gallacher
