Response

As this is personal information Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

C

The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 gives a right to request information that is held in recorded form, unless exempt. This aspect of the request poses a question rather than seeking information held in recorded form, therefore Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) 2011 Law applies.
