Freedom of information disclosure log

Overview

This list of Freedom of Information (FOI) responses, known as an FOI disclosure log, shows FOI requests we have received and the responses we provided. This means anyone with an interest can quickly and easily see questions that have already been asked and the response provided. Personal details such as names and addresses (both postal and email) are redacted to protect privacy.

Please note that we may not publish a FOI response on our website due to the confidential or sensitive nature of the information disclosed to the requester.
