Dear Lyndsay,

Thank you for your request dated 08/12/2022. I regret to inform you that "Lyndsay" is not a valid name for the purposes of Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The Information Commissioner considers that a relatively informal approach is appropriate and therefore title and or first name with a surname satisfies the requirement for provision of a real name, as does the use by a female applicant of her maiden name. The prime consideration is whether enough of a person's full name has been provided to give a reasonable indication of that person's identity.

In order that your request can be processed, can you please provide us with your surname.

If you should require any further information or assistance then please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

If you are not content with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Requests for internal reviews should be addressed to the Monitoring Officer, PO Box 1720, Huddersfield HD1 9EL. Alternatively, you can send an email to: [email address].

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

If you are not content with the outcome of any review you have the right under section 50 of the 2000 Act to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision as to whether your request for information has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the Act. The Information Commissioner’s website is at www.ico.org.uk and gives more information about the role and duties of the Commissioner. The ICO telephone helpline on 0303 123 1113 or 01625 545745 is available between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
