6. The number of requests subject to an internal review.

7. The results of any internal requests. i.e did the authority
uphold the original decision?

8. The number of cases referred to the Information Commissioner

9. If any such cases exist, details of the cases. i.e. date,
subject of the request, reason for exemption, what the result was.

10. The criteria used when considering the public interest test.
