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.
