Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the Freedom of Information Act you have not responded to my
request for information within the time allowed and are therefore
breaking the law.

I am requesting an internal investigation and would like the
information as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Sawyer

It is worrying that Westminster fail to respond to this request. Particularly at a time of scrutiny of 'benefits' obtained by politicians. I regognise companies listed in this request that are owned by Westminster officials/councillors.

I too want to know this information.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Having already requested an internal investigation over a month
ago, which I am advised should be completed within 20 days, I'm
concerned not to have one reply or acknowledgment.

I'm afraid, to all the people looking at this FOI it seems like
Westminster are stalling for time by just ignoring the question.

Please respond as soon as practicably possible.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Sawyer

This has to be sent to higher authority - Westminster are blatantly stalling and trying to fix something before they are found out. Take it to the press, the ICO, the local MP, everywhere.

This has, sort of, been answered under FOI 12395 in which WCC state that no companies were used:

"I can confirm that the Council's records show that we have not had any dealings with the companies specified in your request. "

So that FOI seems to have been closed whilst this one has not been updated (going to do that now).
