Dear

Request for Information – ATISN 16259

I wrote to you on 28 April regarding your request for information regarding The Ford Bridgend Taskforce.

Information requested

You asked for:

1. The number of meetings held in each calendar year from 2011 to 2021 (or from whenever the entity in question was created or established until 2021, if later); and

2. The cost of maintaining the same, again broken down by calendar year and over the same period,

Our response

I can confirm the Welsh Government holds information captured by your request.

For question one, the Ford Taskforce met eight times between July 2019 and July 2020; six times in 2019 and twice in 2020 (one of which was a virtual meeting).

For question two, the cost of maintaining the Ford Taskforce was £1,019.91 and this was all expended in 2019 calendar year.

Next steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response.  Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at: Information Rights Unit, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ or Email: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales.  Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.    

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:  Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.  However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.

Yours sincerely
