All
I note what you say but as I work with a local authority - I always write to
ask if there is specific information - one of my recent replies:
"Please send me the information I am entitled to under Section 7(1) and
7(1)(d) of the DP Act 1998"...this does not give me specific information
e.g. Financial information etc...I think rather than be difficult - why not
give them their information (if they are entitled to it) and I put myself in
their position - what if it was me requesting the information? We are all
entitled to it!
