What happens next
We aim to send you the information you requested within 20 working days. We will tell you if we need more time.
We will either provide the information you have asked for or let you know if we:
- do not hold the information you want
- if it is already publicly available, and where or who you can get it from
- if any fee or charge applies
- if some or all the information cannot be released and why.
Costs
Most requests are free but, in some circumstances, charges may apply. If finding the information will take more than 18 hours of work, we will charge a fee. We will tell you how much any charges will be and explain what they are for.
Refused requests
If we turn down your request, we will tell you why we cannot give you some or all the information.
We may ask you to be more specific so we can provide the information you need.
Reviews and complaints
If you believe we have not provided the information requested, you may ask for a review of the decision. We will tell you how to do this in our response.
If you are still not satisfied, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
