Dear Stuart

 

Thank you for your email dated 21 November 2015 in which you request
information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

 

Following the flotation of Royal Mail on the London Stock Exchange in
October 2013, it is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
Royal Mail was previously subject to the Act because it was wholly owned
by the government. However, now that the government has sold its shares in
Royal Mail, this is no longer the case. Therefore, we are no longer
obliged to respond to requests for information under the terms of the FOI
Act.

 

I am sorry we are unable to assist you further on this occasion.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Kate Watkinson
