Dear Mr Addison
Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act. It is
however exempt under this act and we are handling it under the
Environmental Information Regulation.
To our knowledge, no `legal definition' of the term Falconidae exists.
Therefore, we assume the term has its normal scientific meaning, namely
all birds contained within the Family Falconidae.
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
([1][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:

JNCC is correct it relates to 59 some would argue 62 species of falcons that occur naturally in the wild which is different to hybrids that do not occur in the wild therefore have never needed to be registered it has all been a deception to steal money from members of the public. Just like the lies when Defre say there was consultation to register hybrids. If I am wrong show me the consultation with stakeholders and I will eat humble pie.
Things to do with this request

It should be very easy for JNCC to answer the information request as JNCC are the scientific element of Defra that advice Defra. I believe that I know the answer however I would like to see JNCC's answer to see if my information is correct.
