Response
I enclose copies of most of the information you requested in the format you asked for.
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 an exemption under Section 27(1): Information intended for future publication of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why that exemption(s) applies are explained below.
