Dear Sir or Madam,
Please provide me with answers to the following questions by virtue
of the Freedom of Information Act:
1) When a parcel is held at a depot, and its subsequent delivery is
subject to payment of "Parcelforce Clearance Fee", do you consider
this act to be "intentional" or is it an act committed unwillfully
on your part?
2) When a parcel is held at a depot, and its subsequent delivery is
subject to payment of "Parcelforce Clearance Fee", what happens to
the parcel if the customer refuses to pay "Parcelforce Clearance
Fee"?
3) When a parcel is held at a depot, and its subsequent delivery is
subject to payment of "Parcelforce Clearance Fee", if the customer
asked you to release the parcel without payment and you refused,
would this be in violation of the law as described in "Section 102
(2) a" of the Postal Services Act 2000 (c .26)?
4) When the rules for holding international parcels subject to
payment of "Parcelforce Clearance Fee" were established. Was a
lawyer or other legal advisor consulted regarding "Section 102 (2)
a" of the Postal Services Act 2000 (c .26)? And if so, what was the
outcome of this consultation.
Yours faithfully,
Ashley Mills

oops, oh gdi, you are right, its section 104. What a fool I am. I wonder if there is any way to rectify this without submitting a fresh request.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Please can you ammend my FOI request. In the request I referred to
Section 102 of the Postal Services Act but in fact I meant to refer
to Section 104. Please respond to the questions with this
ammendment.
Thanks,
