    In a Sunday Times article in May about XXX' selection of XXX, the department said that it 'is looking at rules that require grantors to take “a proactive approach to ensuring that the terms and conditions for grants are appropriate to the local conditions in the sector in which they operate, while ensuring effective management and accountability of public money”. And, that organisations receiving grants must show effective use of funds and “avoidance of waste and extravagance”. As such, my FOI request (FOIXXXX), in Section 1, specifically asks for 'both the rules and the terms and conditions for grants referred to in the article'. However, in the Terms & Conditions For Grant Assistance document attached in response to FOI/XXXX there isnt a single reference to either 'avoidance', 'waste' or 'extravagance'. That document therefore clearly doesn't show the method and criteria by which organisations demonstrate that they are avoiding waste and extravagance. No other document or record was provided as part of FOI/XXXX. To clarify, my request for both the rules and the terms and conditions for grants referred to in the article is a request for a document(s) which shows the method and criteria by which organisations demonstrate that they are avoiding waste and extravagance. The department stated in the Sunday Times article that this method and criteria exist and are being applied to XXX in relation to XXX. Can you please provide the document which shows the method and criteria by which organisations demonstrate that they are avoiding waste and extravagance.

    My FOI request relates to a Sunday Times article about XXXX XXXX XXXX in May in which the department said that it 'is looking at rules that require grantors to take “a proactive approach to ensuring that the terms and conditions for grants are appropriate to the local conditions in the sector in which they operate, while ensuring effective management and accountability of public money”. Organisations receiving grants must show effective use of funds and “avoidance of waste and extravagance”. I am seeking evidence of how this due diligence has been applied to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I asked your Livestock Breeding Unit a similar question in FOXXXX however, like your team, they have no awareness of what DAFM's senior officials were referring to in the article. Therefore, either the due diligence regime referred to in the article does not exist and is bogus, or the FOI responses are bogus. The implication of the department officials' use of the term 'grantors' is that there is a standard approach that is not specific to XXX XXX XXX XXX grants or those overseen by the Livestock Breeding Unit, hence my broader, more general request to you below. However, at a very basic and simplistic level, it's up to the department to tell me what regime those officials were referring to and it's up to the department to provide me with records which show that regime has in fact been applied to XXXX XXXX XXXX, as DAFM officials claimed in the article.
