acknowledge your email of 24/08/2025 requesting, under the Official

I am curious as to what rules there are around having a small personal or
desk fan in work places associated with your organisation.

Are there any rules?  What are those rules? Who imposed those rules (for
instance, senior leadership team, leaders of a particular site, building
owner)?  Please provide as much detail as possible.

Please also set out how many sites associated with your organisation, and
how many employees normally located at those locations.
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
