Exemptions Applied: 

Section 12 – Exemption where cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit 

SYP response: 

Your request for information has now been considered and I am not obliged to supply the information you have requested. Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires South Yorkshire Police, when refusing to provide such information (because the information is exempt) to provide you the applicant with a notice which:  

(a)        states that fact;

(b)        specifies the exemption in question and;

(c)        states (if that would not otherwise be apparent) why the exemption applies.

 The following exemption applies to the disclosure of the information: 

Section 12 – Exemption where cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit 

Enquiries with Districts within South Yorkshire Police reveal that to; determine if the information is held, locate the information, retrieve the information, extract the information, for one District alone would require 100 hours work 

The Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 provide that the cost limit for non central government public authorities is £450. This must be calculated at the rate of £25 per hour, providing an effective time limit of 18 hours.
