Slough Borough Council Common Purpose expenditure and invoices

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I and others are deeply concerned at the workings of a charity named COMMON PURPOSE which seems deeply ingrained in many Councils, hence I request that
you detail total expenditure (if any) by Slough Borough Council on Common Purpose courses for
each of the following years: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and
2008 to date.

Please also supply a copy of the invoice (if any) for each Common Purpose course paid for by Slough Borough Council.

By "Common Purpose", I mean the training organisation of that name:

Yours faithfully,

Linda Greyson.

Dear Ms Greyson

I noticed that on the Whatdotheyknow website this is still outstanding. I was informed that the copy invoices had been sent to you. I apologise if this is not the case. Unfortunately I only have hard copies of the invoices. Could you please send me your postal address and I will forward to you.

Many thanks, Jane Ward

Dear Linda Greyson

I have been advised that the copy invoices I sent you regarding your
request in July 2007 did not reach you.

I have therefore scanned in the documents and have attached them for you.

I hope this helps with your request.
