When we receive your request we may have to contact you to clarify some of the details. If we already publish the information you require, we will tell you how to find the information for yourself. If it's held by us, we will copy the information you need if we can and provide it to you in your preferred format.
For some large search and copy requests, we may need to charge a fee to cover our costs. We we tell you how much it will be and you can decide if you want us to continue. If you agree to pay the fee, the information will be sent out when you have paid. On occasions there may be some information we cannot release to you. In this case we will provide what we can and the reason why there is some information missing.
