Dear

ATISN 15106

Thank you for your request, which I received on 28 April 2021. You asked the following:

With regard to Assembly Member for Mr Lee Waters, has submitted fuel expenses claims totalling £12,466.10, what date are these expenses for EG 2020-2021 and provide the exact date and destination of each journey claimed by Mr Waters?

I can confirm that does not hold information on Members of the – this would need to be requested directly from Senedd Cymru via [email protected])

With your agreement I would be happy to transfer your request to Senedd Cymru for that organisation to consider your questions. However, if I do not hear from you by Wednesday 26th May, Welsh Government will take no further action on your request.

With regard to your final question as to what fuel allowance are ministers allowed to claim per mile, Welsh Government Ministers are able to claim 45p per mile. Any information on the allowance paid to Members of the Senedd would again need to be requested from that organisation.

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: [email protected]

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,

Parc Cathays ● Cathays Park Caerdydd ● Cardiff CF10 3NQ

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
