Outcome
Information withheld
Response
The information requested is exempt under section 21 of the FOI Act, as this data can freely be accessed online via The National Archives web archive. However, in order to assist you in the collation of this information, we have been able to run a report listing relevant URLs from our web-archive. Each of these URLs will show an individual job vacancy. This can be seen here.
Unfortunately we do not have a database of these job vacancies that contains the data fields you have referenced above. Neither are we able to run a report that would capture this data in a spreadsheet.
Exemptions applied
Section 21: Information readily available to the applicant by other means
Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) does not oblige a public authority to provide information if it is already reasonably accessible by other means.
In this case the exemption applies because the information is already available on TNA’s web archive.
Further guidance on the application of this exemption can be found at: https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1203/information-reasonably-accessible-to-the-applicant-by-other-means-sec21.pdf
