Response
I enclose a copy of some of the information you have requested in Annex B to this letter.
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 section 30(c) (effective conduct of public affairs), section 36(1) (confidentiality) and sections 38(1)(a) and (b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why these exemptions apply are explained in Annex A to this letter
