Request:
I am seeking the email address for submitting a Freedom of Information request about transactions over £500.
Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 requires a request to be in writing, state the applicant's name and an address for correspondence, and describe the information requested. It also recognises electronic transmission as writing. Please provide the appropriate FOI email address; I am asking for the address, not permission to submit by email.
If you deal with FOI requests at this address, please provide the transactions information for:
- March 2023 onwards.
Please provide the data in CSV format, including the date, value and recipient of each transaction, along with the procurement category or description. If already published, please provide a link.
Response:
Extent and Result of Searches to Locate Information
To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within North Yorkshire Police.
I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by North Yorkshire Police.
Decision
The information you have requested is published on the North Yorkshire Police website under the following link;
Expenditure over £500 | North Yorkshire Police
I have therefore decided to exempt providing you with a response to your request pursuant to Section 21 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act).
Section 17 of the Act requires North 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.
Section 21 – Information Reasonably Accessible by Other Means
Section 21 is an absolute class based exemption and I am not required to consider the harm or public interest when applying this exemption.
Pursuant to Section 17(1) of the Act this letter acts as a Refusal Notice in response to your request.
Please note that systems used for recording information are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. It should be noted therefore that this force’s response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other responses you may receive.
