Dear Mr Canning

Thank you for request under the Freedom of Information Act received by us
on 25^th May 2009. Due to the subject matter, this is exempt under the
Freedom of Information Act and therefore we are handling your request
under the Environmental Information Regulations.

The list of birds included on Schedule 4 is included in Appendix 4 on page
58 (which is now attached) of the Defra consultation document on the
review of bird registration in 2006 and, definitively, in Statutory
Instrument 1994 No. 1151 (also attached). From that it is possible to
extract the list of Falconidae that were subject to registration in 1995.
We do not hold a list in the format you requested.

We also do not hold a complete list of all Falconidae that occur in the
wild naturally - and by `in the wild' we assume you mean in either the
United Kingdom or Great Britain, though you do not specify this. We
suggest that The British List - the official list of birds recorded in
Britain, compiled by the British Ornithologists' Union and available at
[1]http://thebritishlist.blogspot.com/2009/...,
is your best source of information on this topic.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a complaint, please contact Sue McQueen
([2][email address]).

If you are still not satisfied following this, you can make an appeal to
the Information Commissioner who is the statutory regulator. The
Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Information Commissioner's Office

Dear Mr Canning

Thank you for your email dated 22^nd June 2009 and please accept our
apologies for the delay in replying.

You asked for an explanation in this email relating to the information and
advice we provided previously. This response provides this explanation and
we hope that this meets your requirements.

We have provided copies of any information we held which related to your
request. We have also advised you which information you requested that we
do not hold. The reason we do not hold the information requested may be
that we have not found it necessary to produce the kinds of lists you
requested in order to advise Government, or that it has not been requested
by colleagues in Government whom we advise. We have no reason to produce
this now.

Accordingly we would like to clarify that the part of the information we
have advised you that we do not hold falls under the exception under
regulation 12 (4) (a) of the Environment Information Regulations - The
public authority `does not hold that information when an applicant's
request is received'

If you would still like us to conduct an internal review on the handling
of your request could you please

contact Sue McQueen ([1][email address]). If you have not done so
by 27^th August we will consider the request closed.

If you are still not satisfied following this, you can make an appeal to
the Information Commissioner who is the statutory regulator. The
Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Information Commissioner's Office
