Ordnance Survey will not be complying with your request for information in full, as we consider your questions (excluding question 8) to be vexatious under Section 14 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.

Ordnance Survey received on 11th May 2012, and is currently considering, an identical FOI request from xxxxxx of the same organisation. xxxxxx has asked us to forward our response to the identical e-mail address detailed in your request. Whilst we are unable to refuse the second request received (in this case yours) under the grounds of a repeated request according to Section 14 (2) of the FOIA, due to the request being received from different persons, we are able to refuse to respond to a second and identical request under Section 14 (1) of the FOIA - Vexatious.

Question 8
We are unable to cite vexatious in relation to your question 8, as this information is already made available under our publication scheme at the following link:
