Request: 

Please could you chase your team as this national table produced for journalistic reasons, is being issued to the national media and UK public next week. 

We have now had FULL Disclosure of £3,700,000,000 of last year’s energy costs and includes the 300 largest councils and all Government departments incl: Ministry of Defence, MoJ, HMRC, HM Treasury etc in addition to the King’s Royal Household, BBC, Channel4, The Houses of Parliament, Bank of England etc. 

The report requires all the energy cost and spend that you use and pay for within the council. This would be the same basis as would appear within your public facing website of supplier invoices Expenditure disclosures of values over £500.
The RPSI should already be noted upon your disclosure.
For clarity, we have no interest in who you used etc we simply require the below facts which both fall within Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and Freedom of Information Act 2000.
