I am looking for some assistance with your organisation’s Spend/Transparency data, available on the following weblink:
https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/expenditure-over-250
There appears to be no file available for the month of Apr 2019. Could you advise when the file will be made available to view online? Would it be possible for you to email me a copy of the Apr 2019 file?

TfL Ref: FOI-0666-1920
Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 June 2019, asking for expenditure data for April 2019.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.
The expenditure data you have requested will be published before the end of September 2019.
In accordance with the FOI Act, TfL is not obliged to supply any of the information you have requested as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act.
In this instance the exemption has been applied as the information you have requested is intended for future publication. The information is currently being collated and validated to ensure accuracy and will be published on the TfL website in September 2019.
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. TfL recognises the need for openness and transparency by public authorities and the particular public interest in disclosure of this information, However in this instance, it is considered that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
Yours sincerely
Eva Hextall
