The 'first condition' referred to above is further explained in Regulation 13(2A): The first condition is that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public otherwise than under these Regulations-- (a) would contravene any of the data protection principles I am sorry we are sending this information to you late. This has taken us longer than expected to go through all the documents you requested and check for any information, such as personal data, that we need to redact. Please refer to Open Government Licence which explains the permitted use of this information. Rights of appeal If you are not satisfied you can contact us within 2 calendar months to ask for our decision to be reviewed.
