Please be advised that we are extending your request under section 10 (3) of the FOIA. The Authority has decided to engage Section 36-Prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs. This is because some information will inhibit the exchange of views which may impair the quality of decision-making.
As section 36 is a qualified exemption and subject to the public interest test, the Authority requires more time to determine whether the balance of the public interest lies in maintaining the exemption and withholding some or all of the information or whether the public interest favours disclosure.
We are therefore extending this part of the request by an additional 20 working days in accordance with the above legislation. The due date for disclosing this information has been calculated as 28/08/2026. We will of course endeavour to issue this part of the response to you as promptly as possible.
The remainder of your request for information under the above legislation has now been considered. Please see response below.
