MORE than 900 Freedom of Information requests were submitted to Lothian and Borders Police during the last year, with seven per cent failing to be answered in time.

A total of 901 requests were sent to the force between last April and March, a slight rise on the previous year when 886 were submitted.

Some 65 inquiries were answered after the 20-day deadline for a response, although the force said they were “mostly only a few days late”.
