Freedom Of Information,

Dear Mr [name removed],

Freedom of Information Review Request 2015/18117

Thank you for your recent request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 (FOIA) which was originally received in this office on the 6^th July
2015 (2015/17916), followed by your internal review request dated 27^th
September 2015 (2015/18117).

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties
on public authorities.  Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at,
Section 1(1) (a), is to confirm or deny whether the information specified
in a request is held. The second duty at, Section1 (1) (b), is to disclose
information that has been confirmed as being held.

Original request & response:

Freedom of Information Request 2015/17916

Thank you for your recent request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 which was received in this office on the 6th July 2015.

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties
on public authorities.  Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at,
Section 1(1) (a), is to confirm or deny whether the information specified
in a request is held. The second duty at, Section1 (1) (b), is to disclose
information that has been confirmed as being held.

The information that you are seeking is in relation to the following:

Q. The Protection of Freedoms Act (PoFA) 2012 allows for National Security
Determinations (NSD) to be made which allow the period that biometric data
is retained for to be extended. 

• Please would you provide me with the number of National Security
Determinations which have been made under the PoFA since the powers
came into force (end of October 2013). Please provide these figures
broken down by the number of NSDs which have been made each month
since the commencement under PoFA - where possible broken down by
whether this is 'Legacy Material', or 'New Material'.

• The amount of NSDs, made by your force, where the biometrics
commissioner has ordered destruction of the material (overturned). As
with above, please provide these figures broken down by month. 

A. The exemption applicable to the information you have requested for this
question can be found at Section 24 – National Security and Section 31 –
Law Enforcement of the Act and this refusal notice is issued under Section
17.

Overall Harm for Section 24 and Section 31

The threat of terrorism cannot be ignored. It should be recognised that
the international security landscape is increasingly complex and
unpredictable.  The UK faces a sustained threat from violent terrorists
and extremists.  Since 2006 the UK Government have published the threat
level based upon current intelligence and that threat level has remained
at the second highest level ‘severe’, except for two short periods during
August 2006 and June and July 2007, when it was raised to the highest
threat ‘critical’ and July 2009, when it was reduced to ‘substantial’. The
current threat level to the UK is ‘severe’.

To disclose the number of National Security Determinations submitted by
each force would undermine individual forces policing capabilities which
consequently would be detrimental to their ability to deal with the
on-going terrorist threat we face. By providing the number of persons
suspected of terrorism related activities by an individual force would
allow comparison between forces across the country and enable terrorists
to build a picture of the level of resourcing and where those resources
are deployed as presumably a force with a large number of suspected
terrorists will have greater resources deployed to assist with counter
terrorism opposed to a force with few. It is felt that the disclosure of
the requested information would prejudice the effectiveness of the
national counter terrorism effort and would allow inferences to be drawn
about force level counter-terrorism activity and identify vulnerability
around the country.

In addition police investigations could be compromised as the disclosure
of the information could alert offenders of their 'suspect' status thus
allowing them to alter their behaviour and activities to evade detection.
Any enquiries or investigations carried out by other agencies may also be
compromised and to compromise the investigative process and any evidential
gathering undertaken to combat the terrorist threat we face would affect
the safety of the public at a national level. 

Factors favouring disclosure of the information S24

The public are entitled to know how public funds are spent and to disclose
this information would allow the public to see where money is being spent
and know that forces are doing as much as they can to combat terrorism.

Factors favouring non-disclosure of the information S24

To disclose this information would render security measures less effective
which would compromise on-going or future operations to protect the
security and infrastructure of the UK.  The risk of harm to the public
would be elevated, if areas of the UK which appear vulnerable were
identified which would also provide the opportunity for terrorist
planning.  On-going or future operations to protect the security and
infrastructure of the UK would be compromised as terrorists could map the
level of counter-terrorist activity across the country by knowing the
number of persons suspected of terrorism within a force area, thus
providing them with an inferred knowledge of individual force capability.

Factors favouring disclosure of the information S31

To disclose the number of NSDs made by a force would make members of the
public more aware of the threat of terrorism and allow them to take steps
to protect themselves and families.  Improved public awareness may lead to
more intelligence being submitted to police about possible suspects as
members of the public will be more observant to suspicious activity which
in turn may result in a reduction of crime.

Factors favouring non-disclosure of the information S31

By applying exemptions to the requested information inhibiting its
disclosure would prevent law enforcement tactics from being compromised
and would retain the Police force’s ability to prevent and detect
terrorist crimes. It is given that the threat of terrorism will increase
as more crimes are committed as a result of terrorists gaining knowledge
about the capabilities of individual forces and therefore the public will
be placed at a greater risk, however, by exempting the information those
with the inclination to commit acts of terrorism will not have knowledge
regarding the vulnerability of specific areas and therefore the increase
of threat will be prevented and a fear of crime will not be realised as
terrorists will not know which areas to target and exploit .

In addition, disclosure of the information would have an adverse impact
upon police resources  as forces that could be perceived as vulnerable may
need to increase their resources to reassure and protect the community.

Balance Test

The security of the country is of paramount importance. The police will
not divulge any information that would place the safety of an individual
at risk or undermine national security. Whilst there is a public interest
in the transparency of policing, and in this case providing assurance that
the police service is appropriately and effectively engaging with the
threat posed by terrorist activity, there is a very strong public interest
in safeguarding both national security and the integrity of police
investigations and operations in the highly sensitive subject of
terrorism.

As much as there is a public interest in knowing that policing activity is
appropriate and balanced in matters of national security this will only be
overridden in exceptional circumstances.  Police force’s capabilities of
combating terrorism are sensitive issues of intelligence value to the
terrorist and therefore it is our opinion that for these issues the
balancing test for disclosing the requested information is not made out.

Additionally, Gwent Police can neither confirm nor deny that it holds any
other information relevant to your request by virtue of the following
exemption:

Section 23(5) Information relating to the Security bodies;

Section 23 is an absolute class-based exemption and therefore there is no
requirement to conduct a harm or public interest test.

The Freedom of Information Act is a public disclosure regime, not a
private regime. Any information disclosed under the Act is thereafter
deemed to be in the public domain, and therefore freely available to the
general public and will be published on the Gwent Police website.  Please
note: If you are unhappy with the information provided in this disclosure
and require a review, you will need to apply within 20 working days of the
date of this disclosure.

I hope this information is satisfactory to your request however, should
you feel dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request
was handled, I have attached the Gwent Police FOI Appeals Procedure for
your information.

Thank you for your interest in Gwent Police.

You requested the following information on internal review:

I am now writing to ask for an internal review of the decision and have
set out my arguments for disclosure below.

Harm

 1. The information has, as you are aware, been requested from a number of
police forces. In providing the response to this request a standard
template response to the public interest test has been provided. This
does not take into account the police force’s individual position or
information that it holds. In essence a blanket has been put on the
class of information that has been requested.
 2. 

2. This blanket approach to the request is undermined by two police forces
that have disclosed that they do not hold any information on the number of
NSDs. By confirming that they do not hold any information the two forces
have weakened the need to not disclose the number of NSDs, which have been
made. The approach of two police forces that confirmed that no information
was held severely weakens the harm argument disclosure:

“would undermine individual forces policing capabilities which
consequently would be detrimental to their ability to deal with the
on-going terrorist threat we face”. The two police forces that have said
no information is held have clearly shown that they do not believe it
would be detrimental to reveal that they have not made any NSDs. Thus they
do not believe that revealing a low number (nil) will encourage terrorists
to relocate to within their boundaries.

3. The argument that terrorists or potential terrorists will relocate to
areas where a low amount of NSDs have been made is also redundant due to
the fact that individual forces do not solely conduct national security
operations. National security operations can be conducted by a number of
difference agencies, including the secret services, Counter Terrorism
Command, as well as oversight from the National Counter Terrorism Security
Office. National security is a UK wide operation and a low number of NSDs
within a police force does not indicate that the resources provided to it
are lower than another area.

4. It is claimed that revealing the numbers of NSDs could alert suspects
to their potential status. If a suspect has been apprehended and had their
biometric details recorded, they will already be aware that they are on
the

radar of the police force. They will be aware that the authority will know
them. Thus they may already “alter their behaviour and activities to evade
detection”. If the biometric information has been obtained by other means

(i.e. covert operations) the person will not alter their behaviour as they
will be unaware that their biometric data has been retained.

5. In addition disclosing the number of NSDs that have been made will
increase trust in the police force’s operation and hold it responsible for
the work that it does.

6. Overall the harm that has been afforded to the disclosure of the
requested information has been overstated and would not be likely to
undermine

national security or policing operations.

S.24 / S.31 public interest considerations

1. The factors that have been considered to be “favouring disclosure” are
general factors, which have not been well considered and do not take into
account all possible circumstances. The following areas are reasoning as

to why the public interest in disclosure outweighs the public interest in
maintaining the exemption.

2. Trust in surveillance operations conducted by UK authorities has been
undermined by revelations that mass surveillance has been conducted by UK
bodies. Examples of this include biometric information which has collected
webcam images of individuals using computers

(http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/fe...
internet-yahoo) and also that information has been collected on every
visible internet user

(http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/hom...

gchq-collected-information-from-every-visible-user-on-theinternet-

10517356.html). These instances include the storage of files and personal
information. Police retention policies, While not discussing biometric
data that this request refers to, for personal information, specifically
photographs, has been criticized in the case of MC & Anor, R (on the
application of) v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis & Ors [2012]
EWHC 1681 (Admin) (22 June 2012). This shows a questioning of all
retention policies.

3. There is a large public interest in the lawful actions of authorities
that are able to keep and access information that is kept for national
security purposes. These extend to the retention of biometric information.
It is crucial to the democratic process that biometric information, even
when

it is held for national security purposes, is held lawfully. As such the
extent and amount of biometric retention that is retained under NSDs are
important to the conduct of public officials. There needs to be confidence
that biometric retention is being kept proportionally and lawfully.

4. Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights states that there
needs to be respect for an individual’s private life and article 6
provides a right to a fair trial. If the biometric data is not held in
accordance with protocols then either, or both, of these areas of the ECHR
could be called into question.

5. Public understanding of NSDs and their oversight would be increased by
disclosure of the information.

6. Confidence that the democratic process of policing and ensuring fair
treatment and justice is occurring would be increased by the disclosure of
the information. In particular where NSDs have been refused/overturned

by the Biometrics Commissioner shows whether police forces are using their
powers correctly. The non-abuse of powers by law enforcement agencies, as
highlighted by the above surveillance examples and others of gross
misconduct, carry a high public interest and disclosure will help to
negate any suspicion of wrong doing or malpractice.

7. The oversight of NSDs is, as mentioned, carried out by the Biometrics
Commissioner. The Commissioner, in his annual report from 2014, said that
he is “not persuaded” that the number of NSDs made or reviewed should
remain a secret. At the time the Commissioner did not publish the

number that had been made or reviewed, but said these figures could be
published in the future. At the time of making this report the powers to
make NSDs had not been in force for a long time. However, the picture has

now changed and so with it has the public interest in disclosure. Now that
the potential to make NSDs has been available to police forces for a
greater amount of time the interest that they are being used correctly has
increased.

8. The disclosure of the number of NSDs made and those that have been
reviewed also increases scrutiny of the oversight process. At present the
Biometrics Commissioner is not covered by FOIA legislation, meaning this
information is not accessible from the office. And, while it remains
unpublished there is a lack of accountability of the office and its public
function. Disclosure of the figures will ensure that the Biometrics

Commissioner’s office is fulfilling its oversight duties.

S.23(5)

1. I believe that it is wrong to NCND that any further information is
held.

2. Confirmation that the information I have requested is held has been
given.

3. The request is specific and aimed at two pieces of defined information,
it does not concern whether other information on the area is held.

4. As the ICO said in DN FS50505556: “given the specific wording of this
request, it is illogical for the MPS to adopt a NCND position in relation
to any ‘further information’ simply because the complainant has not
actually requested any further information”.

Daybank, Alex,

Dear Professor Latchman,

I am writing to bring to your attention an FOI request UCL has received
from the Guardian newspaper.

The applicant is seeking information in four separate areas. Please find
the wording of the request below:

•           Has the screening panel, which has been looking this year at
allegations of research misconduct by Prof Latchman, reached a conclusion
on whether or not to proceed to an inquiry? If so, what was the panel's
decision and what were the reasons for that decision?

• In a previous FOIA request I submitted to UCL in 2015, the university
refused to release the report or reports of a previous investigation into
Prof Latchman because doing so might influence the work of the
above-mentioned screening panel. Can that report (or reports) now be
released?

• Can UCL confirm that Professor Latchman was investigated for potential
research misconduct on another occasion, before the 2015 investigation
which found he had "[1]no case to answer".

• I would like to request correspondence between Prof [name removed]
Latchman or his representatives, including legal, and the UCL Data
Protection and Freedom of Information Office over the past six months,
i.e. from 15 May 2016 until 14 November 2016.

UCL is obliged to provide a response relating to the recorded information
it holds and having considered the information held relevant to the first
aspect of the request and the available exemptions UCL considers that it
will be necessary to state that the Screening Panel has recommended a
formal investigation. In stating this we will reiterate that all
proceedings will be conducted under the presumption of innocence.

We will apply the exemption at section 31(2) by virtue of section 31(1)(g)
of the FOI Act to withhold further details of the Panel’s decision and to
once again withhold the earlier screening panel report. This exemption
states that:

“(1)Information which is not exempt information by virtue of section 30 is
exempt information if its disclosure under this Act would, or would be
likely to, prejudice—

(g)the exercise by any public authority of its functions for any of the
purposes specified in subsection (2)”

Those purposes being:

“(b)the purpose of ascertaining whether any person is responsible for any
conduct which is improper”

Please note that this exemption is subject to a public interest test.

With regard to third aspect of this request, as you will recall UCL holds
some limited information relating to the fact that you “were questioned in
relation to an investigation into a whistleblowing allegation made in
about 2007 that a figure in a published research paper emanating from your
lab at ICH had been fabricated.” As you may be aware, the FOI Act first
requires a public authority to confirm whether information relevant to a
request is held. As a consequence UCL intends to rely on an exemption to
respond to this part of the request by neither confirming nor denying
whether any information is held on the grounds that revealing that
information is held would in itself be incompatible with the data
protection principles, specifically the first data protection principle
which requires that personal data is processed fairly and lawfully. The
existence of any information will therefore be withheld under section
40(5)(b)(i) of the FOI Act, this exemption deals with personal data.

Finally, the only correspondence held between you or your representatives
and myself (besides this email which is beyond the scope of the current
request) relates to the data protection subject access requests that you
have submitted. UCL has concluded that this correspondence is exempt under
section 40(2) of the FOI Act, another part of the exemption for personal
data.

The response to this request will be sent shortly.

Dear [name removed] Boothman

Reference number: EIR/ENV/02/18/15052

On 27^th February 2018 Hertfordshire County Council received the following
request for information from you:

“Relating to the confirmed statutory inspection of Wood End Lane,
Flamstead on 18th December, 2017. I would like to see the documents
supporting the inspection of this piece of road on that date.

I also want to see all the reports of pot holes/vehicle damage on Wood End
Lane, Flamstead reported following this inspection on the 18th December
and details of all insurance claims and their status i.e. have they been
settled/refused.”

Your request for information has been considered under the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.  I can confirm that Hertfordshire County
Council does hold the information you have requested and can respond as
follows:

Please see the two attached Street History Reports which cover Wood End
Lane. The following text takes you through the Reports:

Dates of all safety inspections undertaken on the carriageway referred to
above, for the year 1^st December 2017 to 31^st December 2018 to show the
full cyclical statutory and ad hoc inspections and maintenance record.

and

Details of all carriageway defects identified during safety inspections
for the year 1^st December 2017 to 31^st December 2018

Please see the “Condition Survey” section of the attached Site History
Report.  This section details the dates of inspections carried out on the
stretch of highway in question, within the specified time period.  It also
details any defects identified upon inspection.

Details of how carriageway safety inspections are undertaken, including
whether walked or driven, the speed of the inspection vehicle and the
number of persons in the vehicle.

Carriageway safety inspections are undertaken from a slow moving vehicle
(a driver and an inspector - two people) driving at an appropriate speed
(with regard to safety, road conditions, and traffic).

Safety inspections on footways with a safety inspection interval of 6
monthly or annually are inspected from a vehicle as a combined carriageway
and footway inspection. However, when inspecting footways, it may be
difficult to obtain the necessary level of accuracy from vehicle based
inspections and walking should be used in these circumstances.

Safety inspections on footways with a safety inspection interval of
monthly or 3 monthly, or footways that are of paving slab construction;
are tree lined; where the distance between the edge of the carriageway and
footway is greater than 2 metres; which are elevated at a height greater
than 1 metre above carriageway level; which are lower than 0.5 metre below
carriageway; and where visibility from a vehicle is impaired by an
obstruction - e.g. parked cars, barriers etc., are walked and recorded as
a separate inspection from the carriageway.

The intended frequency of carriageway safety inspections.

Wood End Lane  2U68/10 – Annual Combined. Last inspection 18^th December
2017. Ad hoc inspections are in direct response to public reportage and
involves an inspector verifying the report, making safe or classifying the
defect for future work. It is not a whole carriageway inspection. Last Ad
hoc inspections 16^th January 2018, 11^th January 2018, 15^th December

Whether or not the Authority has formally adopted all or part of the
standards contained within the national code of practice for highways
maintenance management.

Hertfordshire is aware of the code of practice 'Well Maintained
Highways'.  Like most UK highway authorities, some of our standards and
procedures are taken from or are based upon the various codes of practice
whilst others are locally developed to better suit our needs and
priorities. It is therefore not possible to give a general answer to this
question except to say that we have not formally adopted it in its
entirety.

Please note, names and third party personal data have been redacted from
the attached documents in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998, as
the County Council does not consider there is a public interest in
releasing this information.

Hertfordshire County Council does not hold cost information for individual
highway repairs carried out with effect from 1st October 2012. This is
because we no longer require an itemised costing for each repair from our
contractor.

Our contractor provides a monthly account showing their expenditure on all
repairs carried out across the highway network. We cannot disaggregate
this information to provide individual costs.

road network, please visit:

Details of all insurance claims and their status i.e. have they been
settled/refused for Wood End Lane between 18^th December 2017 and 27^th
February 2018

The Insurance department have received 4 claims for this road relating to
incidents. All 4 have been declined, however two have appealed and so the
current status is 2 re-opened.

If you have any questions relating to Freedom of Information or
Environmental Information Regulations, please do not hesitate to contact
us, quoting the reference number on this correspondence. All insurance
matters must be taken up with your contact in that department quoting your
insurance claim number.

If you are unhappy with the way the County Council has handled your
request for information you may request an internal review of the request.
This will be carried out by a member of the County Council Legal Services
Team, who has had no prior involvement with the request. Requests for an
internal review should be sent to the Information Governance Unit at the
address above (within 2 months of this correspondence) and should detail
in writing your grounds of appeal.

If you are unhappy with the outcome of the internal review you are
entitled to ask the Information Commissioner to investigate your

M27 Southampton Junctions,

1 Atodiad

Dear Sir/Madam,

As you know, Highways England is progressing with an improvement scheme at
M27 junctions in Southampton. If you recall, this scheme was presented at
public consultation in autumn 2017.

The scheme will help to improve safety and journey time reliability, and
support Southampton City Council’s efforts to improve local air quality
and support regional and local economic growth.

Following careful consideration of all the responses and comments
received, I am pleased to announce the preferred route for the scheme. It
consists of improvements to Junction 8 and Windhover Roundabout to create
capacity and reduce congestion by widening the slip roads, and also
improvements to cycling, pedestrian and crossing facilities.

Details of the preferred route including technical reports relating to the
selection process are available on our scheme webpage:

[1]https://highwaysengland.co.uk/projects/m...

Brochures are also available at the following locations:

Pilands Wood Community Pilands Wood Centre/Chamberlayne Rd, Southampton
Association SO31 8DT
Hedge End 2000 Centre 2000 Centre, St Johns Road, Hedge End,
Southampton, SO30 4AF
Civic Centre Civic Centre, Southampton, SO14 7LY
Gateway
City Library
Northam Community Centre Kent St, Southampton, SO14 5SP
HighPoint Venue Bursledon Rd, Thornhill, Southampton, SO19 8BR
Bitterne Library Bitterne Rd E, Southampton, SO18 5EG
Cobbett Hub & Library Cobbett Rd, Southampton, SO18 1HL

Following the announcement of the preferred route, we will carry out
surveys and investigations to allow us to design the scheme in more detail
ahead of a further round of public engagement later this year.

If you have any queries regarding the M27 Southampton junctions scheme,
please speak to our customer contact centre on 0300 123 5000 or email us
at [2][email address].

We are holding a proposed response by the Scottish Government to a request for

"All information held by the Scottish Government on the original decision by Scottish Ministers to approve the St Ambrose campus site in Coatbridge, including but not limited to any briefing documents, proposals, decision notices, risk assessments"

This includes the "7 documents which we feel are in scope of the question asked" mentioned in the above correspondence.

The correspondence was sent to an unconnected FOI request thread on WhatDoTheyKnow. We do not know why this occurred. We are not publishing the material as the proposed response contains personal information of third parties. We have also been informed it contains material described as "Commercially sensitive data to the Scottish Ministers to complete their consideration of the proposal letter and extension letter for Planning Application 12/00163/AMD and thereafter, a title matter relating to access to a school site dated 2012". Anyone interested in the material is welcome to get in touch with us at WhatDoTheyKnow.com

Dear [Name Removed]

In that case they would need to receive the Worker privacy notice, which
is attached.  In terms of the examinations, this is not something that
would be covered by the privacy notice.  However, this should have gone
through the Ethics committee who will advise on the appropriate protocol. 
Has this been done?  If advice is required on this, please contact James

Anne Tomkins,

Dear All

Thank you again for being so helpful , when I visited 2MS today, much
appreciated.  Please see the e-mail below which I have just sent to
Louise, I will keep you updated !!

Kind regards

Anne

Subject: Historic file FOI requests update - request for advice

Louise

Following our meeting this week, I have listed below the current situation
on three cases following my visit to 2MS today, with the help of HRT of
course.

FOI 58724  Madejski – rec’d. 9/5/20

I am keen to access these files on Operation Post Report which were opened
under FOI in 2007, I've tried to find them online but without success.

Files HO 355/10 to HO 355/17

Please direct me to the right location online or send me a link.

The file series, in scope of the request, is held in ISC in the disclosure
log files under  FOI 7854 handled in 2007, although one file in the series
is missing HO 355/11.

Whilst papers from the files were released in 2007,  they do contain
personal data, which is now in the public domain, and which would probably
not be released now.  I am unsure about redacting information that was
previously released because I estimate there are at least 1500 pages in
the three boxes (measured against packets of paper!), which contain the
information  released under FOI 7854, I wondered could this be s 14(1) –
burdensome/disproportionate effort, territory. To identify, scan in the
pages, and redact the files of personal data, added to that the time taken
for the review of the information (one file has box 500 material, so in
theory would need LAR to review them) could well engage s 14(1).

I have confirmed HRT handled a FOI request for just FOI HO355/14 in
January 2020, and fully released the file, without redactions (no personal
or sensitive information).

FOI 55221- Linstrum – rec’d. 27/8/19

I am seeking access to the file with the National Archives catalogue
number HO 344/34 (Activities of political groups in Notting Hill) which I
understand has been retained by the Home Office.

The file requested is currently being reviewed by MPS as the file has been
requested under FOI 61767 in June/July 2020 (HRT) so I will liaise closely
with HRT when the outcome is known, and then make the necessary
redactions.

FOI 59226 – Livingstone – rec’d. 24/6/20

Please may I have a copy of FOI 1595 published 7 December 2005, in
response to an FOI request on the “Battle of the Beanfield” confrontation
between police and new age travellers near Stonehenge.

I have not been able to find a copy online  / within HO website.

The documents referred to in FOI  request 59226 are held in the disclosure
files , located in ISC.  Although released in 2005 into the public domain,
the papers contain personal information , which would normally be
redacted,  if released now. In addition, there is some Police Complaints
Authority, and Wiltshire Constabulary equity from 1987 in the file, as
well as notes of allegations of negative police  behaviour from 1986/1987

I  would be grateful if you could provide some comments regarding FOI’s
58724  -Madejski and 59226 – Livingstone.  I am not intending to go back
to 2MS until after leave/NWD’s (Friday 14/9/21 to Tuesday 28/9/21)

Kind regards

Subject: Re: Freedom of Information request - indirect relationships
between UK galleries/museums and China

Dear National Museums Liverpool,

I forgot to mention that my last name is Cramer in the FOI request I
submitted which I understand is required under the act. Here is an updated
version of the FOI request. I have also included a time frame.

Many thanks,

Dear National Museums Liverpool,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Please provide all information
held by your institution related to any relationships between the Natural
History Museum and Chinese entities not based on direct funding in 2019,
2020 and 2021.

By Chinese entities I am referring to entities owned by the Chinese
government, private companies/institutions based in China or individuals
with Chinese citizenship. By direct funding I mean sponsorships, gifts or
donations to your institution. Rather than direct funding, we are
interested in more indirect relationships, such as any form of agreement
(for example partnership or licensing) or other commercial arrangements
where the institution stands to benefit. If the relationship has
benefitted your institution financially, please explain how much the
relationship has generated in profit. However we are also interested in
relationships that do not immediately generate profit such as agreements
of mutual understanding.

These may include but are not limited to:

- Relationships with state owned development firms for example to work on
joint projects
- Relationships with private Chinese companies.
- Licensing agreements
- Collaborations with museums/galleries based in China such as joint
exhibitions or assisting in the operations of these institutions based in
China.
- Items displayed in your gallery that have been loaned by individuals or
organisations based in China.
- Agreements of mutual understanding or cooperation with entities linked
to the Chinese government

Yours sincerely,

[name removed] Cramer

Environmental Information Regulations 2004 - Response

 

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides two distinct but
related rights of access to information which impose corresponding duties
on public authorities. These are:

• The duty to inform the applicant whether or not information is held by
the authority and, if so,
• The duty to communicate that information to the applicant.

 

Thank you for your request for information received on 11 May 2023 for the
following information:

 

 ‘Under the Freedom of Information Act, I am writing to politely request
details of Section 106 planning agreements.
 
Specifically, please could you provide details of all payments made or
contributions received for projects supporting enhancements to public
transport, car clubs, walking, and cycling networks (and any other
sustainable transport initiatives), under Section 106 Planning Agreements
for the years, 2019/2020, 2020/21, and 2021/22, and:  

The value of the payment/contribution

The name of the project and initiative

The status of the project - when the project was/is expected to be
delivered, and

what is the current amount of overall unspent s106 funds set for transport
improvements.’

Your request has been considered. Please find below the information
relating to your request.

Your enquiry regarding the financial contributions received for public
transport, car clubs, walking, and cycling networks (and any other
sustainable transport initiatives) in  2019/2020, 2020/21, and 2021/22.
Please note that the relevant information is published on our
Infrastructure Funding Statement, please visit our webpage for the
information:

[1]https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/planning-an...

Please see below the details of the projects funded by the s106
contribution for public transport, car clubs, walking, and cycling
networks (and any other sustainable transport initiatives) in 2019/2020,
2020/21, and 2021/22:

As per the IFS for the years there is £0.013m of S106 funded expenditure
on highways and travel plan monitoring.  £0.011m in 2019/20 on highways
and £0.002m in 2021/22 for travel plan monitoring.

I trust the above satisfactorily addresses your query.

Please quote the reference number in any future communications.

you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests
should be submitted within 40 working days of the date of receipt of the
