Dear Valerie Ribbons,

I am writing with regards to your request for information, which was
received 20th August.

We have started to consider your request, however we require further
information before we are able to proceed.

Can you please be more specific as this will reduce the chances of being
over cost . For example such as search for sodium and website? whereas if
searched for just website there are over 32,000 records which will be over
cost .

As you will appreciate the statutory timescale for our response to your
request will not commence until we are supplied with the further
information which we require. In the event that we do not hear from you we
will assume that you do not wish to proceed with your request.

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

Yours sincerely,
Tara Egan

Dear Hertfordshire Constabulary,

Thank you for your communication. I think you are asking about point 4 of my request? Points 1), 2) and 3) seem self explanatory as to what I am asking for.

To clarify my wording of "website", I am keen to ascertain the number of suicide incidents/crimes/reports received/attended by Hertfordshire Police whereby there is evidence of the deceased accessing a website (such as Sanctioned Suicide) to procure instruction on ending their life and/or the means to do so. I would also be interested to know of any incidents/crimes/reports received/attended by Hertfordshire Police where there there is evidence the deceased has sourced "The Peaceful Pill Handbook" from Amazon and taken their life .

Yours faithfully,

Valerie Ribbons
