information requested.
Question 1 - As this question is not seeking recorded information we do not
consider it a valid question as defined in the FOIA s8 (request for Information). We
note however that the information requested has also been requested as part of
your subsequent Subject Access Request (SAR) received on 4 September 2022,
and this will be considered as part of that request (SAR 2022/006).
Question 2 - We consider the answer to this question to be personal information
and is therefore exempt under s40(2) of the FOIA.
Questions 3 & 4 - Information not held.
