Dear Ganesh,
Re: Freedom of Information request – Holding response.
I write with reference to your email of May 21st 2009 in which you request a copy of the report referred
to in between items 12(c)and 12(d) of the agenda for the council meeting of 19/05/09.
The information which you have requested requires that we perform a public interest test in order to
determine whether disclosure of the information is in the public interest.
Please accept my apologies for the delay in my response. We have approached the Information
Commissioner’s Office and our legal service on a specific point related to this request and as yet, have
not received the clarification we have sought. I believe that we need an additional 10 working days to
obtain this clarification and consider the public interest in order to make sure that we release as much
information as possible. I apologise for the length of time that this process is taking and hope that this
delay hasn’t caused you any inconvenience.
We hope to conclude the public interest testing and be able to respond to you by 3rd July 2009. Whilst
we will make every effort to complete this test within this timescale, if we are unable to complete the
public interest test within this timescale, I will write to you again to keep you updated.
I hope this information is helpful, however, if you are unhappy with the service you have received in
relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should
write to Helen Maneuf, Head of Audit, Scrutiny and Information Governance, Box Res1405, Room 307,
Shire Hall, Cambridge CB3 0AP within 40 days of the date of our final response.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the
Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
Kind regards
Sarah Priestley
Information Governance Officer.
