Response

I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested attached.

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 sections, Section 30(b) (free and frank provision of advice or exchange of views) and s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information. The reasons why these exemptions apply are explained at the end of this letter.
