The number of Freedom of Information requests received by my Department and the number of those refused for the years 2000 to 2010 is set out in the attached table. The total number of requests refused in 2010 is not yet to hand but 20 requests were refused up to the end of August 2010. I will provide the Deputy with the end-year figure when it becomes available to me. My Department is committed to providing an efficient and helpful response to Freedom of Information requests and to assisting all requesters with their information inquiries.
