Dear Mr. O'Hara,

Thank you for your recent request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000. We are currently dealing with your questions and will be in touch
shortly concerning disclosure of the information you require.

Where we find that substantial photocopying is required, the Act allows us
to charge for this and we will contact you in due course if that is the
case.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Paddick

Dear Mr. O'Hara,

Thank you for your Freedom of Information Request where you asked for
information about addresses removed from the PAF.

From our preliminary assessment, it is clear that we will not be able to
answer your request without further clarification.

Specifically, we need to know whether your reference to PAF (Postal
Address File) is in fact meant to be `Postcode Address File' and whether
you only wish to know about council-owned property within the
administrative area of Somerset, as only these would fall within our
remit. If, as your request suggests, you wish to have details of the
entire administrative area, we would have thought the Royal Mail might
hold this information or perhaps the District Councils - although we
haven't ascertained whether this is the case.

Once you have clarified your request, I will be able to begin to process
your request. If I do not receive clarification within three months your
request will be considered to have lapsed. (Under section 1(3) of the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a public authority need not comply with
a request unless any further information reasonably required to locate the
information is supplied).

Please remember to quote the reference number (657) above in any future
communications.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Paddick

Dear Mr. O'Hara,

Thank you for further clarification of the information you are seeking.

I can now confirm that this information is not held by this Council. The
information you seek will most likely be held at a District Council level.
I attach the contact details for the five Somerset District Councils.
Freedom of Information Act requests relating to the District Councils in
Somerset can be accessed by following this link:
([1]http://www.somerset.gov.uk/irj/public/se...).

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original request and should be addressed to the Information Governance
Manager, Peter Grogan; [2][email address]

Please remember to quote the reference number 657 in any future
communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF.
