Response

Thank you for your freedom of information request received on 17th July. However, I am unable to provide the information requested as the information is exempt under section 21 of the FOI Act because it is reasonably accessible to you and the terms of the exemption mean that we do not have to consider whether or not it would be in the public interest for you to have the information. I am pleased to inform you that you can access the information you have requested in our Elections news story.
