Each may levy a charge of up to £5, although some may not levy anything and they are all obliged to provide a response within 20 working days. Since they are not required to provide copy documents, just information only, I would suggest somebody with legal knowledge asking for precise bit of information that is required, as they may cite commercial confidentiality as a reason for not disclosing all requested information. This said, there have been successful challenges to this and the Information Commissioner's Office has subsequently ordered local authorities to release "sensitive" information.
