It's been a long hiatus since my last posting, but today I returned to the fray and made the following request to Hampshire County Council under the Freedom of Information Act. It was made using the on-line application form on their website (http://eforms-ext.hants.gov.uk/AF3/an/default.aspx//RenderForm/?Name=Jpn0nvUg-_P).


I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the freedom of information act. In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query as specifically as possible. If however this request is too wide or too unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the act, you are required to advise and assist requesters.

I would like to know who the 'hardest' child is in all of Hampshire's secondary schools. By 'hardest', I of course mean 'best at fighting'.

I understand that under the act, I should be entitled to a response within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request. If possible I would prefer to receive correspondence by e-mail.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
