Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding a list of all Muslim residents in the south lake district region, including Barrow-in-Furness, Dalton-in-Furness and Ulverston including their full names and addresses if at all possible.

Data about religion from the 2011 census (the most recent) can be found here.

Unfortunately, we are unable to publish any data that includes full names and addresses as it is considered personal information. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) renders it an offence to disclose information held by the Statistics Board for statistical purposes that would identify an individual or a body corporate. As we are prohibited by law from publishing statistics in which individual businesses can be identified, we find that Section 44 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies. Section 44 is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.
