Dear Sir/Madam
Unfortunately we are unable to provide the information as requested.
Please can you resubmit, without asking for sexual orientation as this may
fall under what is deemed sensitive information.
NB: There may be a delay in responding to your request. Allerdale council
ceases to exist in a few months and merging with Carlisle. Due to this
transition it may be difficult to retrieve information requested.
Regards
Valerie Gray
