Pre-submitted questions…..

Presubmitted Qs – Sandra Medforth

• 1. Secondment costs - is this for the

whole year or a part year?

• 2. Support costs - Insurance - what is

covered by this?

• 3. Anniversary Expenses - does this

include the monies given to each branch for their celebrations? 4.TU accounts - I am surprised local rep training and expenses were only £128.
