Dear Network Rail Limited,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Network Rail Limited's handling of my FOI request 'Expenses incurred by Directors of Network Rail Consulting' - Your reference FOI2017/00968.

It was stated in your letter of 11th September that Mike Prager’s [expenses] information has been provided in full. However, despite a number of visits to the Middle East for example, no rail or air fares have been provided as requested.

Also, it appears that all rail and air fare information has been omitted from Nigel Ash's expenses. Please provide all travel expense information, including rail and air fare information, subject to the following:

In addressing your concerns about commercial confidentiality, please can you provide expense information for Nigel Ash in full, with the relevant information redacted (location/client information).

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,
