County News Magazine Finance - Find a freedom of information request

Request

County news magazine.

Please can you let me know the total income received; and also total expenditure spent; for the financial year 2020 to 2021 for County News Magazine.

I wish you to specify to the pound and pence exactly how much income was received in respect of County News magazine during financial year 2020 to 2021.

I also wish you to specify to the pound and pence exactly how much expenditure was paid out in respect of County News during financial year 2020 to 2021.

In brief, I simply require you to provide two exact monetary figures and nothing more.

You have already replied to an earlier FOI request on the same matter - your ref 2748957. Whilst I thank you for your reply, it did not directly answer the information asked for. I would be grateful, therefore, for a response this time around that does not include the additional and unasked for supplementary information as supplied in your first response; but rather gets straight to the point and directly answers my request.
