Dear Mr Lister

FOI - Advisory Panel on Beacon Councils

Thank you for your request of Monday 11 January seeking information about the Advisory Panel on Beacon Councils.

I am considering your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and you may expect to receive a reply by 8 February. In some circumstances a fee may be chargeable and if that is the case, I will let you know the likely charges before proceeding.

I am enclosing with this letter a copy of our Access to Information leaflet which explains how the Department handles formal requests for information. I hope you will find it useful.

If you have any queries regarding this letter, please contact me.

Yours sincerely

Rachel Lundy
