Dear Royal Mail Group Limited,
I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Please send me:
1. How many Royal Mail vehicles (owned or leased) are a) petrol b) diesel c) electric and d) hybrid
2. Further to question one, could you please provide the information as a) the UK as a whole, b) in England, c) in Scotland, d) in Wales and e) in Northern Ireland.
If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.
If the release of any of this information is prohibited on the grounds of breach of confidence, I ask that you supply me with copies of the confidentiality agreement and remind you that information should not be treated as confidential if such an agreement has not been signed.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.
I look forward to hearing from you
Yours faithfully,

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your email in which you request information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Following the flotation of Royal Mail Group on the London Stock Exchange in October 2013, it is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Royal Mail Group was previously subject to the Act because it was wholly owned by the government. 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 Act.
Detailed information about our business is also available from www.royalmailgroup.com
I am sorry we are unable to assist you further on this occasion.
Kind Regards
Daniel Tulp
