Dear Ms Porter

Subject: Freedom of Information - Finance and ICT - Financial Management

I refer to the request, which you have made under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 for records held by this department/office.

Acknowledgement

Your request dated 08 June 2010 was received by this department on 08
June 2010. The officer handling your request is Gary Simpson. He may be
contacted by telephone on number 0191 433 3904 should you have any
questions or concerns about your request.

A final decision on your request would normally be sent to you within 20
working days of receipt of your request. This means that you can expect
to receive your decision by 06 July 2010.

There are some limited situations under the Freedom of Information Act,
which could mean that the period for a final decision may be longer than
the normal 20 working days. If this occurs in your request, we will
promptly advise you in writing.

Should our final decision not reach you on time, please feel free to
call the contact officer named above to discuss any problems that may
have arisen.

Non reply by us deemed to be a refusal

If you have not heard from us once the allotted time has expired, you
are automatically entitled to appeal to this department for a review of
the matter. This review is a full and new examination of the matter ,
and is carried out by a more senior member of staff of this
department/office.

In the event that you need to make such an appeal, you can do so by
writing to Gary Simpson of this department/office at the address given
below. You should state that you are appealing because an initial
decision was not sent to you within the time permitted. In that event,
you would normally have 40 days (after the original decision should have
been sent to you) in which time to make the appeal.

Yours sincerely

Information Rights
