Dear Mr Randall
Re: Freedom of Information request.
I write with reference to your email of July 2nd in which you make the following request;
Under the freedom of information act the public is entitled to this information. In the light of the
expenses scandal in Westminster I would like the Expenses information for all county councillors. It
would be in the public to know
This request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act and I can confirm that we do
hold the information requested.
This information is published on our website and can be found using the following link:
http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/council/democracy/represents/allowances.htm
Since this information is already reasonably accessible by other means, I am required to formally
refuse this request under s. 21(1) of the Freedom of Information Act. (Information reasonably
accessible by other means) This exemption is an absolute exemption, which does not require us to
perform a public interest test.
I hope this information resolves your query, 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 this letter.
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.
