Answer
The estimated cost of the central processing of FoI requests at the Cabinet Office is £381,760.89. This includes the costs associated with the central operational and legal teams coordinating and advising on FOI requests across the department. It does not include litigation costs or the costs outside the central team as handling FoI requests is part of other civil servants’ wider duties and the detailed information requested is not separately identifiable.
