Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject
to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party. In some circumstances Cumbria Constabulary may be unable to achieve
this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

In the event that your requirements change or you no longer wish to
receive a response to your request, I would be grateful if you could
advise me of this as soon as possible.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make a payment then your request will
remain unanswered.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

I would like to thank you for your interest in Cumbria Constabulary.

Having looked at the file, I can advise you that Cumbria Constabulary sent a response to your email on 17th December 2009, however, it was sent to the email address provided in your original email (dated 26th November 2009), and not the email address provided in your re-worded request dated 12th December 2009.

For this I apologise.
