Good morning

I acknowledge receipt of your request for information received on 14
January 2019.

 

Unfortunately, I am not obliged to process this as it is not deemed to be
a valid request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000; you have not
given a full and correct name as the applicant.

 

Section 8(1)(b) of the FOIA requires that a request for information must
include the real name of the requester.

 

According to guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office,  if the
requester: fails to provide a name; can’t be identified from the name
provided (for example because they have only used their first name or
initials) or is using an obvious pseudonym, then their request won’t meet
the requirements of section 8(1)(b) and will technically be invalid.

 

I cannot process your request for this reason. If you were to resubmit
your request using a correct name, I would be happy to reconsider.

 

Kind Regards
