LEGAL ANNEX

The information requested within question 1 has been identified as being
accessible via other means as it is already published.  Where information
is already in the public domain we are not required to re-publish the
data; instead public authorities are required to direct you to the
information, which we have done in this instance.  This action is in
accordance with section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act and this
response serves as a section 17(1) notice.  If you have any questions on
this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.

Section 21 - Information accessible to applicant by other means.

(1)  Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise
than under section 1 is exempt information.

(2)  For the purposes of subsection (1)—

(a)  information may be reasonably accessible to the applicant even though
it is accessible only on payment, and

(b)  information is to be taken to be reasonably accessible to the
applicant if it is information which the public authority or any other
person is obliged by or under any enactment to communicate (otherwise than
by making the information available for inspection) to members of the
public on request, whether free of charge or on payment.

(3)  For the purposes of subsection (1), information which is held by a
public authority and does not fall within subsection (2)(b) is not to be
regarded as reasonably accessible to the applicant merely because the
information is available from the public authority itself on request,
unless the information is made available in accordance with the
authority’s publication scheme and any payment required is specified in,
or determined in accordance with, the scheme.
