Archived Company Annual Returns

The request was refused by Companies House.

Dear Companies House,

I would like to obtain a DVD containing the the archived company annual accounting returns that you have on your system. This request should be easily fulfilled by copying one of those which you have previously supplied at a cost of 30 pounds but which your orders department will no longer process. I am happy to pay the 30 pounds. I am also happy to send my address via email on a less public forum.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Stanton

Information Rights, Companies House

Dear Robert Stanton, 

 

I refer to your correspondence dated 31^st May 2022, where you requested
information under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA).   

 

You requested for a DVD containing the archived company annual accounting
returns. This has been considered by the Information Rights Team.  

 

The information is not held in the format which you have requested.  

 

The DVD directory service has been withdrawn from Companies House Data
products. It has been replaced by the advanced search on Companies House
Find and Update Company Information Service.  

To be of assistance, I have provided a link to the advanced search, please
note you will have to search a particular company to find the accounts
information: 

[1]Advanced company search - Find and update company information - GOV.UK
(company-information.service.gov.uk) 

 

Therefore, I consider that as information is held in the public domain
which will answer this enquiry. This information is accessible to you and
therefore exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the FOIA. 

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your request for information,
you have the option to request an internal review of my decision. You have
two calendar months from the date of this response to request this. 

  

  

Following this, you have the option to escalate your concerns to the
Information Commissioner’s Office [2]www.ico.org.uk 

  

  

Yours Sincerely
