Response
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections s.38(1 (b) (personal information) and section 41(a) (communications with Her Majesty etc. and honours) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why those exemptions apply are explained in the Annex to this letter.
The rest of the information you have requested has been included.
