Dear Chloe Parkinson,

TfL Ref: FOI-3066-2324

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 27
November 2023 asking for information about agency staff.

Your request is being considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I
can confirm we hold the information you require.

However, in accordance with Section 17 of the FOI Act we are still
considering the balance of the public interest in relation to a qualified
exemption that applies to the requested information and have not yet
reached a conclusion. The exemption under consideration is section 43(2)
of the FOI Act, the exemption that can apply where release of information
would prejudice commercial interests. It is estimated that a decision will
be reached by 25 January 2024 and I will write again to inform you of that
decision.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
