Would you please let us know if questions a, b and c in part 1 of your request refer to the current situation or a specific period of time.
Once you have clarified the information you require, I will action your request. If I do not receive clarification within one month, this question will be considered to have lapsed.
• Under section 1(3) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoIA), a public authority need not comply with a request unless any further information reasonably required to locate the information is supplied.
• Under regulation 12(4)(c) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2014 (EIR), a public authority can refuse to answer a request that is too general, provided the public authority has gone back to the requester and asked for extra information, offering advice and assistance to help to explain, clarify or rephrase their request.
Please remember to quote the five-digit reference number above in any future communications.
