I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the Authority. As part of my duty to advise and assist, may I draw your attention to the fact that the Freedom of Information Act 2000 does not require public authorities to manipulate data to satisfy a request for information. Prior to the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) a process for handling requests for information such as yours was in place and therefore, in this instance, I have transferred your request to be handled under the existing process.
