Answer

I am advised that responding to the information sought would require substantial collation, review, and processing. This would divert officials from their core duties. In accordance with Speakers’ Rulings 210/6, I consider that the time and expense involved would not be in the public interest and would not represent an efficient or proportionate use of officials’ resources.
