- Reference Number: 2645
- Date released: 30 July 2010
Request
- The number of requests you have received since the
implementation of the Act
- How many of these requests you exempted some or all of the
information
- Which exemptions you used broken down by month and year
Response
From our preliminary assessment, we estimate that compliance
with your request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under
section 12 of the Freedom of information Act 2000. This is
currently £450, to provide a breakdown of exemptions and how many
requests were exempt for some or all of the information by month
would require a manual examination of all 2,550 requests received
from 2005 up to June 2010. It is estimated that this would take
approximately 5 minutes per request totalling more than 212
hours.
Some of the information you have requested is already reasonably
accessible by other means and is therefore exempt information in
accordance with Section 21 of the Act.
Please see the link to our website of use to you, at the
bottom of the page shows the number of
Freedom of Information Requests per month per year
In order to assist you we may be able to provide the information
relating exemptions for the years 2009 and 2010 so far. Please let
me know if you would wish us to proceed extracting this data.
