COMMISSION
Dear
Mr Haswell,
Thank
you for your email.
It
seems likely that the information you require has been published by
the IPCC and is therefore accessible to you without the need for a
separate disclosure. I would draw your attention, in particular,
to:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ippc-structure-and-salaries-march-2012 -
for information about structure and salaries at the
IPCC
http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/IPCC_organogram.png -

IPCC annual report which includes information about expenditure in
respect of staff and estates and the IPCC staff complement
Please
note that under section 1(3) of the FOIA, a public authority is not
required to respond to a request until it has received the further
information it reasonably requires to identify and locate the
information requested. Therefore, if having viewed the
information available via the above web links you still wish to
proceed with your request, I would be grateful if you would provide
the following additional information which will be required before
your request can be considered further:
Q1.
A list of offices along with their sizes and number of offices
It
appears to me that you may be seeking a list of the addresses of the
offices from which the IPCC operates. Please confirm that this is
correct. Please also confirm what you mean by "sizes"; do
you mean, for example, the number of IPCC staff who are linked to
each office?
Q3.
Could you provide expenditures of each office locality in their
annual totals
Please
specify the particular expenditure you are interested in and the
period for which the expenditure information is required. Do you
require, for example, separate costs relating to rental and other
overheads for each location?
Please
contact us if you require any assistance.
Yours
sincerely,
