Dear Mr Jones
Ref: FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
I refer to your request where you asked:
The Daily Telegraph reports
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/qi/9324776/QI-Quite-interesting-facts-about-
cats.html
that HM Government makes itself responsible for feeding 100,000
cats to keep down mice on government property.
Is this the result of a centrally co-ordinated policy?
How much does HM Government spend per year on cat food?
Have any value for money assesments been conducted?
Are any records kept of the mice fatality rate on government
I am writing to advise you that this information is not held by the Cabinet Office.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact the FOI team. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request or
wish to request an internal review, you should write to:

If you are not content with the outcome of your internal review, you may apply directly
to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Commissioner cannot
