Information request

Thank you for your request for information, which we received on 19 January 2021. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000. I have set out an extract of your request below:-

“Hello, Prior to my retirement in 2015 I wrote a book 'Electoral and Administrative Boundaries 1841 to 2013'. The plan was to publish this book but due to staff cuts in publication section and the rebranding exercise it never made it to press. Although I have my own copy on cd my computer has died and I no longer have a disc drive on my laptop. I believe the book exists as a pdf and as the author I would be very grateful of a copy. Please let me know if there is a charge attached.”
