Some responses consist of large numbers of documents that are not held in an electronic format. Where practical, we have scanned the documents concerned and made them available online via our website.

However, in certain cases the volume of files involved has made this impractical and we have been forced to provide the information requested in a hard copy format only.

Information we have released following requests from the What Do They Know website can be viewed or downloaded directly from the What Do They Know site.
