FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST
I acknowledge your request for information received on 8 February 2021.
Your request is being considered and you will receive the information
requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by
the Freedom of Information Act 2000, subject to the information not being
exempt or containing a reference to a third party.
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 the

entitled to withhold it).
See information shared via separate e-mail. Personal details have been
