e) Any recorded description, purpose, or narrative
f) Whether a receipt or invoice is held and, if so, a copy or summary of the items purchased
2. If a pure “Tesco-only” extract is not readily available, the same details for the broader supermarket category that totalled approximately £156,000 / 3,812 transactions in 2025, clearly identifying which are Tesco.
3. Confirmation of whether any Tesco Clubcard, loyalty points, vouchers, or equivalent benefits were earned, accumulated, or redeemed in connection with these transactions, and who (council, individual, or other) holds or benefits from them.
4. A copy of (or link to) the current purchase-card / corporate-card policy, including rules on receipts, authorisation, supermarket/retail spend, and any loyalty-scheme provisions.
