Bank balance

Dear Mr Charman,

Please could you comply with the Freedom of Information Act of 2000
regarding identity disclosure as follows:

•              Section 8(1)(b) of the FOIA requires that a request for
information must include the real name of the requester.

•              If the requester;

a)            fails to provide a name;

b)            can’t be identified from the name provided (for example
because they have only used their first name or initials); or,

c)            is using an obvious pseudonym,

Consideration of requests without reference to the identity or motives of
the applicant then their request won’t meet the requirements of section
8(1)(b) and will technically be invalid.

Kind regards

Beau Klusko

Freedom of Information Officer
