In the answer of
| Name of supplier | Polling work | Number of respondents | Costs (£ excluding VAT) |
| Dorset county council | Housing related research | — | 8,800.00 |
This was added in error as the work with Dorset county council did not relate to housing related research. The payment related to consultancy support for a Business Improvement Package website. This is part of central Government's support for local government transformation by developing an online resource for tools and change management processes. We are taking steps to clarify the original answer.
