Dear Ms Kenyon,

Thank you for your request for information.

The Council does, of course, hold a Register of Members' Interests.

However, your request is subject to an absolute exemption under the FOIA.
In particular, Section 21 of the FOIA applies, i.e. the information is
accessible to you by other means. The Register is referred to in the
Council's Publication Scheme, and may be inspected at the Civic Offices,
Gloucester Square, Woking, Surrey, GU21 6YL. Should you wish to inspect
it, I suggest that you contact me first so that I can arrange for it to be
made available to you.

I hope that you are satisfied with the way in which your request for
information has been dealt with. If not, the Council has decided that any
complaint regarding requests for information that cannot be dealt with
satisfactorily on an informal basis should be dealt with in accordance
with its established complaints procedure. Details of our complaints
procedure may be found at:
[1]http://www.woking.gov.uk/council/about/c... .
Alternatively, I can forward you a paper copy of a leaflet giving details.
I am also happy to discuss any queries that you may have regarding how we
have dealt with your request for information. In addition, you may apply
to the Information Commissioner for a decision whether your request for
information has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the
Act (although I understand that the Information Commissioner may decline
to become involved if you have not first exhausted the Council's
complaints procedure). The Information Commissioner may be contacted at
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF; tel. 01625
545745; fax. 01625 524510; e-mail. [2][email address]

Regards,

Peter Bryant

Head of Legal Services

Woking Borough Council
