Scientology gifts

Thank you for your email to the Charity Commission.

We aim to give you a full and clear response within fifteen working days
from receipt of your email. We will ensure that our response is both
accurate and appropriate.

This is the same service standard we apply to letters and faxes but
Charity Commission Direct will usually respond to general email enquiries
within five working days where there is no need for referral to one of our
specialist operational teams.

If we cannot give you a full response within fifteen days, we will contact
you and let you know the reasons why this is not possible and indicate
when we expect to be in a position to give you a full response. We will
also let you have the name and contact number of the person dealing with
your query.

You can find the Commission's contact details on our website at

This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Dear Mr Thackeray,

Thank you for your email of 3 February asking about gifts, hospitality, or
donations from Scientologist organisations. We have treated your enquiry
as a request under the Freedom of Information legislation.

The Charity Commission's policy is to record all offers - and responses
thereto - of gifts and hospitality on a central register. Having checked
this register, I can confirm that no employee of the Charity Commission,
nor any Board member, has been offered any gift, hospitality, or
donation from a Scientologist organisation over the last five years.

If you are unhappy with our response to your FOI request, have a complaint
or wish to request a review of our FOI decision, you should write to:
Charity Commission Direct, PO Box 1227, LIVERPOOL, L69 3UG. Please state
what it is you are dissatisfied with, which will assist us when we review
our response.

If after this you remain unhappy with the decision, you may apply directly
to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision. Generally, the ICO
cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted our complaints
procedure. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The
Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely

Fiona Stevenson
