I have to advise you that we will not be able to answer your request without exceeding the appropriate limit. This is because we do not hold the information in an extractable format and to retrieve the information requested would involve creating a bespoke report by the software provider which would exceed the financial threshold

Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act makes provision for public authorities to refuse requests for information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the appropriate limit, which for local authorities is set at £450. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 2 working days in determining whether the authority holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting it. The appropriate limit is prescribed by regulation 3 of the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004.

Of those listed in Q2, the number of a) households and b) individuals who were refugees, broken down by local authority they were placed into.
