Further to your email dated 22 October 2009, regarding your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, for an appeal.

All appeals dealing with decisions to withhold information made under the Freedom of Information Act are dealt with through the appeals process contained under Section 45 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
