Dear Mr Wood

Thank you for your information access request dated 30 April which was received by Transport for London (TfL) on 01 May.
You asked for the following information;
a) the sum in total, if any, spent on maps, map procurement, processing and distribution on-line and in paper form during either financial or calendar year 2006;
b) the proportion or absolute amount, if any, of the sum (a) spent on licenses or other fees to Ordnance Survey;
c) the proportion or absolute amount, if any, of the sum (a) which was paid for by council tax;
d) the proportion or absolute amount, if any, of the sum (c) broken down in to council tax house bands on a per-household basis.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act.
Our financial data is not stored in a format that enables the identification of funds spent on maps, map procurement, processing and distribution on-line and in paper form. TfL paid £697k towards a GLA group licence for Ordnance Survey map data in 2005/06.

TfL is not a 'precepting authority' and accordingly does not raise council tax. The GLA is the 'precepting authority', and the amount of council tax revenue allocated to TfL provides a very small proportion of TfL's total funding. It is not possible to ascribe any of this council tax allocation to particular expenditure by TfL.

If you are not satisfied with this response, please read the attached help-sheet entitled 'Your Right to Appeal'

Thank you for taking the time to contact TfL.
