This response serves as a Refusal Notice under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) by virtue of the following exemptions: Section 30(1)(a)(i) - Investigations and Proceedings Conducted by Public Authorities Section 38(1)(a) - Health and Safety Section 30 and Section 38 are qualified exemptions. I am therefore required to consider whether the 'Public Interest' lies in disclosing or withholding the requested information.
