Dear Mr McCarthy

I write in connection with your request for information dated 20/04/09,
which was received by the Information Access Office on 21/04/09. I note
that you seek access to the following information:

1. If the City of London Police can confirm press reports that only
four people were arrested after entering the Royal Bank of Scotland
premises in Threadneedle Street during the G20 protests on 1st
April 2009.

2. The total number of intruders who climbed into the building
through the broken windows and were filmed by the police cameraman
stationed inside the RBS.

3. How long the police cameraman inside the RBS had been in

Your request will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. You will receive a response within the
statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to
the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third
party. In some circumstances we may be unable to achieve this deadline.
If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at
the earliest opportunity.

We normally provide information free of charge but there may be occasions
when it would be appropriate to charge a fee where our costs are
excessive. In such cases we will advice you prior to processing your
request.

In some cases it may be necessary to transfer your request either in full
or in part to another public authority in order to answer you request as
comprehensively as possible. Again, you will be informed if this is the
case.

contact me via email, letter or telephone, quoting the reference number

Yours sincerely
