Attn Simon Oldfield FOIA Manager and Mr Khan Legal Advisor

Dear Sirs

Under protection of the FOIA 2000 please advise me how many compromise employment agreements (aka gagging orders) have you used in the last two years and please provide me with a copy of all agreements.

I appreciate you may have to redact these documents owing to the Data Protection Act.


With thanks
