This question is refused as it does not request specific recorded information. Both the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) enable access to recorded information held by the Trust at the time the request is submitted . They do not require an authority to answer questions where this would involve provision of opinions, speculation, and/or the creation of new information, and this question can only be answered by creating new information.

Accordingly, if there are any particular documents, data, or information that you would like to see then the Trust would treat any reformulated question we receive as a fresh request and consider it accordingly.
