Freedom of Information Charging Policy

We are entitled to ask you to pay for any expenses that we incur providing the information, such as printing, photocopying, scanning and postage costs. If the costs are less than £10, we will not ask you to pay. If your request involves such expenses and the costs will be more than £10, we will contact to you to advise you of the costs and ask if you wish to proceed or modify your request.

If it would take us 18 hours or more to locate and extract the information you have asked for we do not have to provide the information. We will issue a "fees notice" refusing to provide the information and will ask you to consider modifying your request to make it less costly.
