Following receipt of your request for information of 26 September and our
acknowledgement of 28 September, the City of London (CoL) responds as
follows.

* You requested information on the top ten websites visited by City
of London staff during June July and August 2009. This information
is contained in attachment 1.
* You requested information on the minutes spent on each of these
websites during the above months. The City of London is unable to
provide this information. The City of London does not have access
to information in this form through its current software. The
software used to produce the reports attached to this response was
purchased to meet different objectives. Extraction of this
information would require production of reports on the website
usage of each member of staff over the period, followed by a manual
analysis to produce the information you requested. It is estimated
that it would it take at least 600 (six hundred) hours to produce
the reports, which would then need considerable further in depth
analysis to produce the precise information requested. Therefore
this email acts as a partial Refusal Notice, specifically in
respect of this part of your request. This is because it is
estimated that the appropriate limit (i.e. the amount of work we
are legally required to do, and permitted to charge for, in
compliance with a request) would be exceeded in complying with this
request. The appropriate limit is £450 or 18 hours work by one
person, as laid down by The Freedom of Information and Data
Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004. The time
required to accomplish the above work would be at a chargeable cost
of £25 per hour. For resource reasons, it is the practice of the
CoL not to comply with requests that exceed the appropriate limit.
* You requested information on the number of people employed by the
City of London. In response, we can tell you the headcount on
11/09/2009 was 4024.
* Your final request was for the number of times that any Daily Mail
website was accessed during the months of June July and August
2009. This information is contained in attachment 2.

We hope that this assists.
