Annual Data Sets returned by Hackney LBC

Dear Mr Keenan,

Thank you for your e-mail. In order to allocate your request to the most
appropriate part of the Department I need to know the type of data sets
that you are interested in receiving information about.

The Department for Transport is made up of a central department and seven
executive agencies as follows:

Highways Agency

Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency

Driving Standards Agency

Vehicle & Operator Services Agency

Maritime & Coastguard Agency

Vehicle Certification Agency

Government Car & Despatch Agency

We cover all transport areas including: roads, rail, aviation and
maritime. Several parts of the department including our agencies may
receive information from local authorities. If you can provide as much
information as possible on the specific type of data sets it will help in
identifying the most appropriate part of the department to handle your
request. Otherwise it is likely that we will have to refuse on cost
grounds as to determine, locate, retrieve and extract this information for
the whole department would exceed the FOI cost limit of -L-600.

Regards,

Ivan Pocock

Dear Mr Keenan,

I would still need to know the type of data sets that you are interested
in as the central department is made up of multiple policy teams covering
the different transport areas as mentioned in my previous e-mail.

Dear Mr Keenan,

One option might be for you to submit your request direct to Hackney
Council and withdraw your request from us?

If you've already done that and still want this department to provide a
substantive response we will be pleased to do so but bear in mind my
earlier comments about possibly exceeding the -L-600 FOI cost limit. You
should also be aware that for FOI purposes the central department and our
seven agencies are considered one public authority therefore although you
submitted separate requests to five of them you will in fact receive one
substantive response from me to cover them as well.

Please let me know how you wish to proceed.
