I would prefer to receive the information electronically.
If you require any clarification, please contact me in accordance with your duty under Section 16 to provide advice and assistance if you find any aspect of this FOI request problematic.
Please acknowledge receipt of this request by email. I look forward to receiving the information in the near future.

Under the above legislation, you are entitled to be informed as to whether
or not Devon County Council holds the information you have requested, and
if so to have this communicated to you within 20 working days. At times

do so would reveal information that would otherwise be exempt). We will
also give you details of how you may appeal our decision.
The Council will endeavour to provide you with a response to your request
as soon as possible but incidentally by no later than 3^rd October 2017.
