Dear Mr Butler

We are writing to you in respect of your request for an internal review, which is in the e-mail trail below. It has been referred to the Council's Monitoring Officer for consideration.

Your original request was:-

Please can you tell me how many asylum seekers are currently housed in the Copthorne hotel, how much this is costing on a monthly basis and what consultation there was with Vale residents.

On considering your request, it was noted by the Monitoring Officer that you had not received a reply to your request initially. The Monitoring Officer apologises on behalf of the Council to you for this omission. Having looked at the request, the Monitoring Officer is of the view that the Council is unable to answer your question in accordance with section 38 (2)of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Section 38 states :-

38Health and safety.
(1)Information is exempt information if its disclosure under this Act would, or would be likely to- (a)endanger the physical or mental health of any individual, or (b)endanger the safety of any individual.
(2)The duty to confirm or deny does not arise if, or to the extent that, compliance with section 1(1)(a) would, or would be likely to, have either of the effects mentioned in subsection (1)

In considering your request the Monitoring Officer also took account of the public interest test and concluded that the Section 38 (2) exemption should be applied.

If you are dissatisfied with the response to our review of your Freedom of Information request then you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.

The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
