The request, which included a breakdown of payments by calendar year, was this week rejected by the Home Office."We estimate that the cost of locating and collating any relevant information and extracting the information to meet your request would exceed the appropriate limit of £600 specified in the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004," the Home Office said.

The £600 limit is based on work being carried out at a rate of £25 per hour, which equates to 24 hours of work per request.
