Dear Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council,

I would be grateful if you could offer me guidance into how I could best reframe the request in order to obtain as much of the information as possible, while bringing it below the cost limit.

As you may be aware, Section 16 of the FOI Code of Practice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...) advises that bodies should 'provide advice and assistance, so far as it would be reasonable to expect the authority to do so' and ICO guidance (https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio...) interprets this as a suggestion that the authority should provide suggestions of this nature.

Yours faithfully,

Mike Stephens

Dear Mike,

Thank you for your email. I apologise for the delay in replying. I've been liaising with colleagues in the Events Team to see if we can give you some advice.

I was going to suggest perhaps specifying a particular production. However, that would give a misleading picture of the potential income from filming as every production works within their own specific budget with each varying dramatically depending on the scale of the production and the specific shoot.

Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to provide the information you've requested within the appropriate limit. This is due to the way the information is recorded/held.

Kind regards,
