Response 

8 People were funded by I&E to go to the “25th Inter-Island Environment Meeting 2025" (IIEM) held on the Isle of Man, all of them were Environment Department staff. 

To provide the total cost of all the travel, accommodation, expenses etc. for those members of staff, and any others, to attend this Meeting, would require extraction and manipulation of data to produce new information.  A Scheduled Public Authority is not required to manipulate and create new data sets; Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies. 

Article applied

For the purposes of this Law, information is held by a public authority if – 

(a)     it is held by the authority, otherwise than on behalf of another person; or
