Dear Mr Carruthers

Thank you for your request that is being considered. You may be aware
that we have 20 working days in which to respond to FOI requests and you
will therefore hear from me again by 1 October 2009 or earlier if
possible.

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 some or all
of the information may not be released. You will be informed if this is
the case, including your rights of appeal.

There may be a fee payable for `reasonable disbursement' costs such as
postage and photocopying. This will be considered and you will be informed
if a fee is payable. In this event the fee must be paid before the
information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit for
responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.
