1. Not held. Information that is not held falls under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held.

2. All employees have been allocated an additional day of annual leave, fixed to the date of the coronation (pro-rata for part-time employees). Those staff unable to take it on this day because they do not work that day or for service reasons, are able to take the extra day annual leave at another time.

3. A report went to Full Council on 2 February 2023 confirming wage costs of £40,000 including on costs.
