Dear Sir or Madam

Freedom of information act 2000 - request No: 562

I acknowledge receipt of your information request on 24/06/09.

The Act allows us 20 working days to comply with your request. During this time we will assess the information to establish if any exemptions or fees apply. If we feel any information may be exempt this will be given careful consideration, and the Public Interest Test will be applied, if appropriate. If we consider that any material is exempt we will inform you exactly which information is not going to be released and the reasons why.

You will be advised in writing if a fee is payable for this information, and progress on your request will be suspended until the fee is paid. If we do not receive payment within three months then your request will be considered void.

Your request has been forwarded to Eric Norman who will be contacting you in due course.
