(WPQ) response provided detail on the 2017-18 financial year through to, and including,
25 October 2021</li><li>The FOI response erroneously included a payment of £48,693.33
on behalf of the Government Equalities Office, dated 01/04/2019</li></ul><p>This is
set out in the attached table.</p><p>The department has looked into the impact that
this discrepancy has had on previous FOIs and at this stage we think it is limited
to three responses. The department will amend and reissue those FOI responses accordingly.</p>
