If it is not possible to provide some or all of the information requested above for each of the past 5 years, please provide as much of it as has been recorded.
If some or all of the information requested above is exempt from disclosure under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as it is “reasonably accessible to the applicant, please provide a link to the precise location of this information.
In any case, if you can identify ways that my request could be refined please provide further advice and assistance to indicate this.
I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as stipulated by the Act. If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to clarify what I am asking for.
Yours faithfully,
Robert Liow
