A1- 9. We are unable to provide you with a response to this request as we do not hold
this information in an easily retrievable format. The time and cost involved to go
through each record to provide the information requested is above the amount to which
we are legally required to respond, i.e. the cost of locating and retrieving the
information exceeds the “appropriate level” as stated in the Freedom of Information
(Fees and Appropriate Limit) Regulations 2004.
