Current and historical Registers of Interest data

We're waiting for Ally Tibbitt to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Mid Ulster District Council,

Please treat this email as a Freedom of Information request.

I would like to receive a copy of the complete current local authority Register of Interest for all elected politicians in a machine-readable spreadsheet format such as a CSV file, including any additional information that may not be published on your website.

If you hold records relating to historical registers of interest for current and former elected politicians I would be grateful if you could also supply them.

I would also like to receive a copy of the complete current local authority Gifts and Hospitality Registers for all elected politicians in a machine-readable spreadsheet format, including any data that may not be published on your website.

If you hold historical records of gifts or hospitality received for current and former elected politicians I would be grateful if you could also supply them.

Lastly, if you hold a separate register of interests that records those declared at meetings, please also supply that register in a machine-readable spreadsheet format. Again, if you hold historical records of declarations that may not be published on your website, please supply details.

I would prefer not to receive the requested information in pdf format files.

If the requested information is published as open data, please could you supply the location where this data can be found.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Ally Tibbitt

Dear Ally Tibbitt

Thank you for your information request, submitted with Mid Ulster District
Council under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act)
on 25/02/2020 for provision of information regarding current and
historical Register of Interest for all elected politicians.  

The council has considered your request and responds to confirm that it
was established as a local authority in April 2015 following a period of
local government reform in Northern Ireland. The Council to date has not
made its Councillors Annual Registration of Interests available
electronically, online or otherwise.  The Council currently follows and
operates a procedure on making all Registration on Interests forms hed
available and open for public Inspection at any of its Civic Offices.  The
Chief Executive's Office facilitates this process and arrangements can be
made to inspect the registers on either 03000 132 132 or
[1][email address

The Council is currently working towards making future Councillor
Registration of Interests Forms available commencing with those for
2020-21, on its website and electronically.   

I hope this is of assistance. However, under the Act, if you are not happy
with the way in which your request has been handled, you have the right to
ask for an internal review. This review, should be requested within 2
months of the date of this response and should be sent to:

Chief Executive
Mid Ulster District Council
Dungannon Office
Circular Road
DUNGANNON BT71 6DT

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you can
ask the Information Commissioner for a decision on whether the Council has
complied with its responsibilities under the Act. The Information
Commissioner can be contacted at:

The Information Commissioner’s Office
3rd Floor
14 Cromac Place
BELFAST BT7 2JB

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Yours Sincerely

Dear Mr Moffett,

Thank you for writing to confirm that you do have some of the information that I have requested. I'd be most grateful if you could however review your response, as it is not practical for me to come to a council office to view the materials in person.

Please supply the requested information in an electronic format.

Yours sincerely,

Ally Tibbitt

Philip Moffett, Mid Ulster District Council
