Dear Anne

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.

The Act provides that a requester can be an individual, a company or an organisation, but in each case Section 8(1)(b) requires that a request for information must include the name of the requester.
The Information Commissioner’s guidance is that the intention of the legislation is for the requester to provide their real name so their request could be processed in accordance with the requirements of the FOIA. Please note therefore that we will not be processing your request for information under the Act, but will do so if you provide us with your name. If you would like to refer to the Information Commissioner’s advice on making an FOI request, it is available at https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/offici...

Yours sincerely
