Unfortunately we are unable to provide the statistics specifically
requested since the information is not held by the central University

would exceed the cost limit equivalent to 18 hours of staff time.

Dear Claire Stevenson,

Could you please clarify what number/amount corresponds to each category (university/college dean). The format you have sent the data in is slightly all over the place and somewhat difficult to decode.

Yours sincerely,
