Dea Mr Hind
please find below the information I have recieved in response
regarding this FOI request, . I feel it to be contemtpuous in the
way that this response only provides a small amount of the
information I provided in requesting the information and in no way
adresses my request.

Where I appreciate I am asked to appeal to legal Having previously
used this appeal service I found the Appeal consisted of a phone
call to someone out of the department that held the information,
and that person had no access to the information resulting in the
response - no you hace all the information- As FOI is a legal
responsibility I feel there should be more respect given in its
handling
I would ask your assurance that all the information I requested is
provided.
