Dear [Name Removed]

Thank you for the clarification of your question.

The College does not hold the information that you request as the College
does not account separately for the costs of supplying and staffing High
Table. These costs are simply recorded as part of the College’s overall
catering expenditure.

Kind regards

Kathryn

Dear Magdalene College, Cambridge,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Magdalene College, Cambridge's handling of my FOI request 'High Table costs'.

Please provide the information requested.

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

Yours faithfully,

[Name Removed]

Dear [Name Removed] 

An internal review of the handling of your request has been carried out by
a senior officer of the College who was not involved in the original
response, in line with our established procedures. This officer (the
Senior Bursar) has responded as below:

The College does not hold information on the cost of High Table as a
separate activity. An analysis of expenditure is given in the College’s
Accounts, Note 5 [1]College Accounts and Investments | Magdalene College
(cam.ac.uk)

 

High Table only operates together with student diners so the staffing and
food costs are used interchangeably and therefore not separated. Further,
there are a large range of catering activities beyond High Table which
draw on the production kitchen infrastructure costs.

 

I hope you find this information helpful.

 

You have a right to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision
whether, in any specified respect, your request to the College for
information has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act.  Details may be found on the Information
Commissioner’s website at [2]www.ico.gov.uk.

 

Kind regards

Kathryn
