Dear FOI,
Could you please send the information you have replied with in a method that is easily readable? The information above is in text formatting that I cannot easily read or understand.
It is not clear and plain to see which data relates to which year - it seems like the information has been copied from a document. Could you please release that document as a reply to make it more accessible and readable or send the information as a table that can be easily read?.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Tim
