We are writing to seek clarification on your request of 7 June 2025 which
has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).

 

Unfortunately, your original request is broad in scope which means it will
be difficult to locate the relevant information without undue delay.

 

Before we can progress your request, can you please provide:

 

a specific time period for the information sought, eg ‘2015 to present’

 

We would greatly appreciate it if you could get back to us as soon as
possible in order to continue processing your request.

 

Please note that any clarification or amendment of a request is considered
a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum legal timeframe
for response as provided for under section 15A(1) of the Act.
