What happens when I make a request?

We will make every effort to provide you with the information you have requested. We may need to ask you a few questions to make sure we know exactly what you want. We will then check to see if we hold the information you have requested.

If we have the information you will normally be given a copy within 20 working days. We will try to provide the information in the way you prefer, for example on paper or electronically.

If we do not have the information you have requested we will tell you as soon as possible. If we can, we will suggest where else you may be able to get it.
