Dear Rebecca

After consideration by our IT department unfortunately we cannot respond to your request .
The cost of responding would reasonably exceed £450 and/or for some of those questions we do not hold data from 2018 to present.

Kind regards
Avril
On behalf of the FOI team

Good afternoon Avril,

Thank you for your response.

I wonder whether, to reduce costs, you could supply the information for question 1 (How many malicious emails have been successfully blocked?) and just for 2020 and 2021.

Many thanks,
Rebecca
