Dear Lisa Evans

Re: Freedom of Information Act and Environmental Information Regulations -
FOI and EIR Request No. 1272

I acknowledge your request for information received on 10 May 2010.

Unfortunately I cannot identify the information you have requested from
the details you have provided. To help me meet your request could you
please clarify what you mean by "this information" in section 4 of your
request?

Your request will then be considered and you will receive the information
requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by
the Freedom of Information Act 2000, subject to the information not being
exempt or containing a reference to a third party.

For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent release of the information you have requested. There will be an
assessment and if any of the exemption categories apply then it cannot be
released. You will be informed if this is the case.

Should you have any further enquiries about the progress of your request
for information, please contact the Freedom of Information Officer quoting
"FOI Request No. 1272" at one of the following addresses:
