Dear Mr Elibank,

Thank you for your email of 6 May 2011. Your email has been treated as a
request for information under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000
(the Act), you asked:

Please provide me with a list, in electronic format, of every graphic file
included as part of the Army Brand Portal, or otherwise held by a
communications/PR unit within the Army, which is in any of the following
formats: PDF, EPS, SVG, AI.

I am writing to confirm that we hold information on the subject you have
requested. However, no central list of such files exists; to provide the
information we would have to extract the titles from the files themselves.
It has been estimated that the costs we would incur to locate, gather,
extract and provide this information would be £17,000. This exceeds the
appropriate limit we may incur to provide a response under the Act. This
appropriate limit is specified in regulations and for central government
is set at £600. This represents the estimated cost of one person
spending 3 and a half working days in determining whether the Department
holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the
information.

It may be possible to provide some of the information you have requested
if you were to refine your request. For example you could ask for a list
of only those graphic files included as part of the Army Brand Portal.

If you are dissatisfied with this response or you wish to complain about
any aspect of the handling of your request, then you should contact me in
the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are
still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review
by contacting the Head of Corporate Information, 2nd Floor, MOD Main
Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail [1][email address] ). Please note
that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working
days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has
come to an end.

If you are still dissatisfied following an internal review, you may take
your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of
Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the
Information Commissioner will not investigate your case until the MOD
internal review process has been completed. Further details of the role
and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the
Commissioner's website, [2]http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely,

Directorate Media and Communication

request you made (Ref. 06-05-2011-103533-004) as follows:

electronic format, of every graphic file included as part of the Army
Brand Portal which is in any of the following formats: PDF, EPS, SVG, AI.

Please find attached a list of the files included as part of the Army
