Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full. Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Please find below an excel spread sheet pursuant to your request above.

Kindly ensure that the data is read in conjunction with the notes page of the spreadsheet below to ensure correct interpretation of the data. In particular, the following regarding length of time taken for disclosures:

The data used the system generated date that the investigation record was created. There is no specific date field to show when an application was submitted or a disclosure made, so the questions submitted to MPS about length of time for disclosures cannot be answered as it would require reading an excessive number of records.
