Subject: Re: Response to OIA request

Dear Stuart Dymond,

You have not answered my questions. Please note the wording, which you have not represented accurately in your reply:

“the estimated financial cost for each of them; and the estimated total CO2e emissions for each of them. Please also advise the objectives and success measures for their attendance at the conference.”

As was clear in my original request to the Prime Mibister, I wish to know the cost, objectives and success measures for each individual who attended the conference, not the cumulative amounts.

The objective may be, for example,, “to manage the travel logistics for the wider group”. That would be perfectly legitimate but there must have been a reason for each indicidual to have attended and their activities must have been evaluated against this.

For clarity, I am not interested in the net CO2e emissions after offsets but the gross CO2e emissions for each individual. This is information that a Governmrnt for which climate change is regarded as such a critical issue must hold.

Please respond accurately to my request to avoid us needing to waste the resources of the Ombudsman’s office on this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Matthew Hooton
