Correspondence with UK Government on Green Freeports: FOI release

Information requested

Can you release all correspondence with the UK Government on the topic of Green Freeports?

Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the costs of locating, retrieving and providing the information requested would exceed the upper cost limit of £600.

Under section 12 of FOISA, public authorities are not required to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying would exceed the upper cost limit, which is currently set at £600 by Regulations made under section 12.

On this occasion your request will be closed. You may wish to consider submitting a further request in the future with a reduced scope to enable us to answer your enquiry without exceeding the upper cost limit.
