Dear Lily Li,
Apologies for the delayed reply.
If processing the request is made easier by considering the three indica as the request I am happy to proceed on that basis.
The underlying purpose of the request is to gain an understanding of science funding in respect of climate change rather than to seek information regarding climate change research itself.
I hope that assists in narrowing/clarifying the request.
Once again, apologies for the delay.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Brailsford
