Dear Sussex Police,
1. Has there been any correspondence of any kind in the last three years relating to trail hunting between this police force and the Countryside Alliance, Master of Foxhounds Association or the Hunting Office?
2. Has this police force, in the last 3 years, offered any advice to local fox hunts on how to avoid being accused of illegal hunting by hunt monitors and saboteurs.
3. If advice has been given in the last 3 years to local fox hunters, the Countryside Alliance or Master of Fox Hounds Association, what was the advice?
Yours faithfully,
Patricia Betty

Dear Patricia,
Thank you for your request which was received by Sussex Police.
This request will be dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and you will receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, from the date of receipt. In some circumstances Sussex Police may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at the earliest opportunity.
Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.
Please Note:
Sussex Police are currently receiving a high volume of FOI requests at a time of reduced staffing levels to process them. Every effort is being made to comply with the statutory 20 working day response deadline but on occasions this may not be possible – we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely
