If you wish to use this money against David Lister, you will need to bid to the School for the use of these funds. It will be up to the HoS whether or not these funds are approved. You would also need to check to see whether a post release is required - I don't think it would be given that the period is only two months - but worth checking.

I had sent the email below (on March 28) which relates to a meeting I had with Chris Vincent and Gill Boddington re David Lister. The background is below along with the decisions reached at a meeting on March 28. Chris is now away for a few weeks and Gill is away. What needs to be done? 1. R02618 (from DEFRA) has 2 months salary money for Dave Viner. It finished end of Jan07. Can you move this money and anything else you can legitimately take (there is likely some travel money there as well) and put in an ENV account. The final claim can then be made on the account. I'll do the report at some point, when DEFRA send me the form. 2. Can this money then be used to pay David Lister for May and June this year? See below - 3rd paragraph in earlier email. Any issues, check with Janice.
