Dear G S
Official Information Act Request
I refer to your Official Information Act request received on 1 July 2019 in which you specifically
requested the following:
Could you please provide the following information? For the years 2017 and 2018, how much
money was spent on staff travel reimbursements [‘staff travel’ clarified with you to mean airfares
only]
in total? How much of this was spent on staff “business class” travel on airlines (including
travel by CEOs)?

We confirm that these numbers are reimbursements, therefore the cost of airfares reimbursed
