Dear Stinson, Theresa MRS,
I am writing to request that the charges for this FOI request be waived

interest or in the interest of a substantial section of the public.'
These documents will be used for academic research purposes, research
which is widely applicable to the general public. As such, I request
that the charges for this FOI be waived as access to this information is
