Dear Mr Hamiltonshire

 

Thank you for your email of 14 January 2025 requesting access to documents
held by the High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).

 

You have requested access to:

 

The Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for the High
Speed Rail Authority.

 

Your request has been allocated the reference number HSRA 25-237. Could
you please ensure that you quote this reference number in all future
correspondence.

 

Timeframes

The statutory due date for you to receive a decision on your request is 13
February 2025. This date may be extended in certain circumstances, and in
the event that this occurs, HSRA will notify you.  Where the due date
falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the timeframe will expire
on the next working day.

 

Other information

Please note that HSRA considers the following information outside the
scope of your request unless you specifically request it:

o personal information of third-party individuals; including public
servants below the SES level and all email addresses, signatures and
direct telephone numbers
o any duplicates and drafts of final versions of documents captured by
your request
o any correspondence sent directly to or from you.

 

HSRA may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access to the
documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Charges)
Regulations. You will be notified separately if HSRA decides to impose a
charge. There is no charge for documents that contain your own personal
information.

 

Where documents are released to you under the FOI Act in response to your
request, HSRA must publish those documents on its FOI Disclosure Log
within 10 business days of their release to you, unless they contain
personal information or business affairs information that would be
unreasonable to publish.

 

Please note that the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional
Development, Communications and the Arts (the Department) provides
administrative support to HSRA in relation to the processing of FOI
requests. As such, should you have any questions relating to your request,
please do not hesitate to contact the Department’s FOI Section via email
to  [1][email address]

  

Kind regards
