Information Act 2000.

I am writing to ask you to clarify your request as we need further
detail from you in order to ensure that we have understood your request

request was:

"Please provide the following details for all payments received under

* The purpose of the payment
* The amount of the payment that has been spent * The amount that has

1. Legal agreements usually require contributions for more than one
purpose. Where you refer to the "purpose" of the payment please could
you clarify whether you require information concerning how much
contribution was required for each purpose or for each application.

2. For your questions concerning amounts for each year please
confirm whether you require a total for each year, for example, a total
for all unspent contributions per year or something else. Please note
that if your request is for information to be broken down further, eg,
by contribution type compliance with your request for this information
may exceed the costs limits set under Section 12 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. The time required to locate, retrieve and
extract the information may exceed the 18 hour limit.
