The cost of private consultancy firms currently being used at Navy Command HQ

The request was refused by Royal Navy.

Dear Royal Navy,

1. Please would it be possible to know the cost of the private consultancy firms currently working at (or on behalf of) senior officers based at Navy Command HQ? Please would it be possible to know the names of the consultancy firms involved?

2. Please would it be possible to know the cost of private consultancy firms which either worked at Navy Command HQ (or on behalf of senior officers based there) during the last financial year (2019-20)?

Yours faithfully,

Alison Rayden
