Response

We have considered your request and regret that we cannot answer your questions on the basis that it exceeds the cost limit provisions set down by Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. 

Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 states:

A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if the cost of doing so exceeds 12.5 hours.

It is estimated that collecting the information requested falls outside this cost time limit and the request is refused.

However, if you were able to reframe your questions, we may be able to answer some aspects of your enquiry. However, some of your data requests may not be met because either they would still exceed the cost limit provisions or the data is not held because an employee or applicant is not required to declare it under the Jersey Rehabilitation of Offenders Law 2001.
