Dear Ms Marianne Birkby,
Thank you for your email of 14 February where you requested the following information:
“I asked the following question of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management who
directed me to you.
I ask for sight of the names and organisations of all members of the selection panel for the
appointment of Mark Kirkbride to the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management.”
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 ('the Act'), you have the right to:
• know whether we hold the information you require
• be provided with that information (subject to any exemptions under the Act which may
apply).
We can confirm that the information you have requested is already in the public domain and is
therefore exempt from disclosure under Section 21 of the Act. We are not required to provide
information which is already reasonably accessible to you. The members of the assessment

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal
review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of receipt of

Records Unit. It would be helpful if you can tell us why you are dissatisfied with the response to
your request so we may address this during the internal review.
