Thank you for your request for Information, received at this office on

F - Custody - Deaths in Custody

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

this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

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 chose 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.

We anticipate being able to provide you with information that you have
requested by March 22, 2010.

[Not Protectively Marked]

Good Afternoon Ms Mercer,

I am looking for some clarification on the below request in respect to question 3 please.

3) How many members of the public are served by the police stations
where deaths occurred?

Do you mean

a) How many detainees can be held at the specific police station at any one time
OR
b)The population of the area of which the specific police station is located
OR
c) How many detainees have been severed within that year period if a death has occurred?

Please can you respond with clarification on this point as soon as possible, as at present we cannot process it further and is therefore on hold. If we have not heard from you with 60 working this request will be closed with no further action taken.

Should you wish to discuss this matter further please feel free to contact myself on the below details.

Kind Regards,

Elaine
