Dear FOI Manager,
Thank you for your response to my request.
In my request I asked for the number of non-Governmental (private) customers purchasing forecasting services from the Met Office in the years 2008, 2009, an 2010 respectively, which can be defined as commercial customers in the way you did in your response.
However you have only provided me with an approximation over the three year period: "The number of Commercial customers purchasing services from the Met Office is approximately 1,300 per year."
I would be very grateful if you would you provide me with the exact number of commercial customers in each of the three years specified as per my request.
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Tom Nightingale
Dear Mr Nightingale
Thank you for your email.
The figures are as follows:

These figures represent accounts which are neither Public Sector nor Met

I hope this answers your query.
