Are there any cost limits for a Freedom of Information request?

A. Yes. The appropriate cost limit for a request is £600 for central government and parliament and £450 for other public authorities. (i.e. the Police Service of Northern Ireland). This means when the Police Service receives a request we need to estimate how much it will cost to deal with it and if it will be within this limit.
