Dear Ruonan Zhang

Thank you for your request for information with regards to Budgets of the Local Resilience Forum during 2020 and 2021, which we received on the 3rd of February 2022. Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in our response.

Your request
Please can you provide the budgets of the Local Resilience Forum during 2020 and 2021 in each Lower Layer Super Output Area in your area?

Our response
Your request relates to an operationally sensitive area of business and as a consequence, the Local Resilience Forum (LRF) will not be providing the information that you have requested. In this instance, we are applying Section 24(2) and Section 26(3) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to withhold the information. The Section 24 exemption relates to National Security and the Section 26 exemption relates to the defence of amongst other matters the British Islands.

Both sections of the Act are qualified exemptions and therefore are subject to the Public Interest Test. In weighing the factors for and against disclosure we have concluded that the likely benefit to the wider public of disclosure is outweighed by the likely prejudice caused by such disclosure and that therefore the public interest is better served by non-disclosure.

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 the response to your original letter and should be addressed to: The Monitoring Officer, Civic Offices, Holton Road, Barry, CF63 4RU.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.

The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
Information Commissioner's Office - Wales
Second Floor, Churchill House
Churchill Way,
Cardiff
CF10 2HH
029 20678400 / Fax:029 20678399
