Mr Jagger

I refer to your FOI request on 24 June 2009 for the following information:

"Can HMRC publish the minutes of all meetings held during the 6 month period between 1st October 2007 and 31st March 2008, where the retrospective provision announced in Budget Note 66 2008 was discussed."

I confirm that HMRC holds information within the scope of your request. However, we estimate that it would cost more than the appropriate limit to identify, locate and extract the information you have requested. The appropriate limit is specified in the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 and for central government is set at £600. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 3½ working days to identify, locate and extract the information.

If you are able to narrow the scope of your request, we may be able to locate and extract the information within the appropriate limit. However, even if we were able to locate the information within the limit, we would then consider whether any of the information was exempt from disclosure.

If you are not happy with this reply you may request a review by either emailing '[email address]', or by writing to the HMRC FOI Team, Room 4/52, 100 Parliament Street, London SW1A 2BQ. You must request a review within two months of the date of this letter. It would assist our review if you set out which aspects of the reply concern you and why you are dissatisfied.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the review procedure provided by HMRC. He can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF, or by e-mail: [email address]

Yours sincerely
