Dear Jason,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Request for Information

I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the Authority under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

Under the Act (Section 3(3)) the Authority has the right to refuse to release the information where it is reasonably estimated that the cost of complying with a request would exceed £450 (calculated on the basis of 18 hours @ £25 per hour). On this occasion we have estimated that the cost of determining whether we hold the requested information and locating, retrieving and extracting it would exceeds £450. The Authority has therefore decided to refuse your request.

We may, however, be able to assist you with your request if you can narrow it down and be more specific about the information you are seeking, which would reduce the search and would assist you with the request.

If you are unhappy with the way the authority has handled your request, you may ask for an internal review. Please contact the Council's Freedom of Information Officer, Wakefield Metropolitan District Council, Information Compliance Unit, Room 51, County Hall, Wakefield WF1 2QW, who will arrange an internal review of your case.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AF.

If you need to discuss this matter further please do not hesitate to contact me on the number below.

Yours sincerely
Galina Smithson

Dear Smithson, Galina,

Thank you for your reply.

Please limit the request to "all policies, procedures, guidelines
and work instructions relevant
to the job evaluation process" and do not include the information
requested regarding training. As this request is aimed at a
specific area, for a specific process, I am sure that the request
will not exceed your 18 hour limit.

Yours sincerely,

Jason Schmidt
