Thank you for your e-mail dated 11th July 2011. Please see the attached spreadsheet which details some of the information you have requested.

Please note that not all of the information you have requested has been supplied as some is not held by Ordnance Survey.

In the case of your question 2c, we consider some of the information you have requested to be exempt under Section 43 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act - ‘Commercial Interests’.

We consider this exemption applies, as the release would prejudice the Commercial Interests of Ordnance Survey. Knowledge of the applications which run on our PBX system is likely to provide an opportunity for those with specialist knowledge or expertise to identify ways of attacking the system and therefore access the information contained within, therefore we will not be providing this information to you.

Please note your enquiry has been processed according to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

In considering the Public Interest (Section 17 FOIA) we consider there is public interest in enabling companies to operate in a secure electronic environment, and for sensitive information which includes personal information to be securely held and used for the intended purpose.  We therefore believe the public interest in withholding this information outweighs that of disclosure in this instance.

If you are unhappy with our response, you may raise an appeal to our Appeals Officer at:

FOI Appeals Officer
Customer Service Centre
Ordnance Survey
Adanac Drive
SOUTHAMPTON
SO16 0AS

Please include the reference number below. The Appeals Officer will ensure that the process has been followed correctly, questioning any decisions taken regarding the original response and recommending disclosure of additional information if appropriate.

Thank you for your enquiry

Reference number: FOI11194/July 2011
