Dear Sir/Madam,

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

 

I write in connection with your request for information as shown below.

 

Further to successful FOI requests made to APHA re the importation of
trail fluid, please respond to the following:

 

1. Since 2010, how many reports of cubbing / illegal foxhunting have been
made to your force?

 

2. Since 2010, how many of those reports have been resolved as trail
hunting?

 

3. Since 2010, how many of those investigations resolved as trail hunting
have included proof seen and verified by police of the
purchase/acquisition of trail fluid for use in said trail hunting?

 

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). You should expect to receive a response
within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act,
subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a
third party. In some circumstances Derbyshire Constabulary may be unable
to achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given
a revised timescale at the earliest opportunity.

 

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

 

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

 

Should you have any further enquiries concerning this matter, please write
or contact the Freedom of Information Officer, on the telephone number
below quoting the reference number shown in the header of this e-mail.

 

Yours sincerely,

Standard abuse of the exemption clauses to avoid answering awkward FOI requests.

All police forces are desperate to remove any mention of their refusal to enforce the Hunting Act from the public domain.

Ask for details in shorter time period. Request has been rejected on costs as you asked for information going back 10 years.
