Response
I enclose a copy of all of the information you requested in the attached Annex, however, some small redactions have been made under Section 38(1)(b) of FOISA.
An exemption under section 38(1)(b) of FOISA (personal information) applies to some of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party, i.e. the names/contact details of individuals, and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
