Welsh Government does not hold the information requested.

In this particular instance, you may wish to contact Local Authorities as they may hold this information. I have provided contacts points below at Annex A to this letter for your convenience.

Next Steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:
