Could you please let me know if Cambridge City Council is a member
of the "National Anti-Fraud Network" (NAFN) (1)?

If the council is a member, or uses the network's services, could
you please release:

1. The contract (or equivalent document) between the council and
the NAFN.

2. If not included in the contract, information on the costs to the
council of being a member; including subscription fees, charges for
services, and any staff or equipment made available to the network.

3. Information on the benefit the council has gained from its work
with NAFN, including which services it has used, how often, and for
what purposes.

4. Details of any safeguards in place to ensure that information is
only requested from NAFN in circumstances where obtaining that
information is proportionate.

Following the establishment of a NAFN “national centre”, new
services such as live information (eg. on phone calls in progress)
are to be offered by the NAFN from April 2009. (2) Could you please
release any details you have about these new services. I would also
like information relating to any decision the council has made to
use, or not use, specific services offered.

Finally, if Cambridge City Council is no longer a member of NAFN
(there is evidence it was a member in 2005 (3)), could you let me
know why, and when, it ceased to be a member.
