Dear Sir / Madam,
Thank you for your e-mail of 28 July 2017.
Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires that a request for information
must state the name of the applicant. Your e-mail does not do this. We are therefore
refusing your request because it does not meet the requirements for a request for
information under the Act.
If you provide your full name we will consider your request again.
Furthermore, you may be interested to note that the Office of the Information
Commissioner has issued guidance on the making/phrasing of requests to public
authorities which you may wish to consult prior to making any new request. This can be
accessed via the following link:

Yours sincerely,
P. Zebedee
