Asbestos removal (FOI)

Request

How many and which Government of Jersey properties did Redhill Consultancy provide asbestos reports for in the last 10 years?

Response

Our systems are not configured in a way that will allow us to extract the details that you have requested. In the majority of circumstances Redhill Analysts Limited’s asbestos reports have been superseded by later asbestos reports that have been undertaken by other asbestos surveying firms. A manual search of our records would be required to obtain this historic information and because of the volume of records involved we estimate that it will take us in excess of 12.5 working hours to locate and retrieve the data in reference to your request. Your request will therefore not be processed further.

Article 16 A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations.

Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014 allows an authority to refuse a request for information where the estimated cost of dealing with the request would exceed the specified amount of the cost limit of £500. This is the estimated cost of one person spending 12.5 working hours in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.
