FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

Thank you for your request for information, which we received on 6th
January 2009. This e-mail is intended to acknowledge your request, and
we will respond to your request in a separate e-mail/ letter.

Most information requests are dealt with under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. However environmental information is considered
for disclosure under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. If
the information you have requested is personal information about
yourself, we must consider disclosure under the Data Protection Act
1998. If this is the case we will provide you with a subject access
request form for completion and notify you of relevant timescales and
fees.

We will transfer the request to the correct legislation automatically,
as required by the Freedom of Information Act. For further information
on how we will deal with your request, please see the table below.

If you have any queries or concerns then please contact me.

Yours sincerely,

BEVERLEY GRIFFITHS

Timescales for responding to you:

information is not held or is exempt from disclosure. Both the Freedom
of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations allow
this timescale to be extended in certain circumstances. If your request
is affected by a timescale extension we will explain this to you.

Third Party Information:
If the information you request contains reference to a third party they
may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether we disclose
the information to you. We will tell you if this is the case.

We will try to respond in the format that you have requested. If this
is not possible we will let you know. If you require alternative
formats, e.g. language, audio, braille, large print, etc. then please
let us know.

Exemptions:

Regulations 2004 define a number of exemptions, which may prevent
release of the information you have requested. Before we provide the
information we will consider whether it is proper to release it. If any
of the exemption categories do apply then the information will not be
released. We will tell you if this is the case, and you will have a
right of appeal.

Fees:

Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limits and Fees
