Dear Mr Bates,
Could you please clarify what it is you are specifically after when you
ask for:
total agency spend on temporary/contractor staff?
Is the request for us to detail the fee we pay to agencies for each of the
contractors or what we have paid in total for each contractor?

Yours Sincerely
