Dear Accessibility Consultancy

Thank you for your request received on 2 September 2013 requesting
information about the formation of CSDUK.

We are writing to advise you that as your request currently stands it will
exceed the appropriate limit as set out in section 12 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act). 

Section 12 of the Act makes provision for public authorities to refuse
requests for information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed
the appropriate limit, which for local government is set at £450.  This
represents the estimated cost of one person spending two and a
half working days in determining whether the Council holds the
information, identifying what falls within the scope of the request,
locating, retrieving and extracting the information.

We would like to see if it is possible for you to refine your request in
order that we may be able to provide you with some information.

Under section 16 of the Act we have a duty to provide advice and
assistance to those who wish to make (or have made) requests under the
Act.  We have listed below some information that we believe we would be
able to review, locate, retrieve and extract (with a view to release) in
under the appropriate limit.

* CSDUK contract
* Committee papers related to the formation of CSDUK

Please let us know if you are able to refine your request.  If we have not
heard back from you by 29th September, we will assume you are unable to
narrow the request and will apply the appropriate exemption.
 
Kind regards
