Response
The SLCC financial year July to June. Regarding request 3, Section 25 of FOISA sets out that information is exempt from disclosure where the requester can reasonably obtain the information without requesting it under FOISA
This section recognises that where information is already available (in this case on the SLCC website) there is no need to provide an alternative right of access under FOISA.
This information is contained within the SLCC’s Annual Accounts. I have provided the relevant links and page numbers below.
