Details of the request
* the number of OIA requests received in the last financial year. I understand that you are now required to report this to parliament as part of the annual financial review process, so the number should be available;
* the number of requests in the last financial year for which a charge was demanded, if available;
* the number of requests in the last financial year for which a charge was paid, if available;
* the total amount received in charges for OIA requests in the last financial year. This should be available from your financial systems. If it is not available, I would like an explanation why.
I am seeking this information in order to compare with statistics gathered in 2015 to determine whether there has been any change in charging practice over the last five years.
