that there could be approximately 4000 applications that would need to be viewed

report will state whether a legal agreement has been entered into. The
appropriate limit is specified in the Freedom of Information and Data Protection

hours in determining whether the service holds the information, together with
locating, retrieving and extracting the information. Even allowing a

take in excess of 200 working hours to determine the appropriate material and
