In response to questions 1-6, we do hold this information but to locate, extract and collate it would mean a manual review of all 297 records. At approximately ten minutes for each record this would take a total of approximately 50 hours.
Under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 public authorities are not obliged to comply with requests which exceed the cost limit of £450 (equating to 18 hours of time). For this reason we believe that Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act applies (cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate limits).
