Dear Master Powel,

 

Thank you for your request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) 2000, relating to private and public acts. Please
see the response below:

 

It is not clear on what information you are seeking, for example: do you
seek a list of legislation that Kent County Council (KCC) is subject to or
are you looking for legislation that KCC has been responsible for bringing
into UK law? Either way Information relating to Acts of Parliament are
published on line and therefore under section 21 of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 we are not obliged to comply with your request
because the information is accessible to an applicant by other means. More
information can be found via the following links:
[1]http://www.parliament.uk/business/bills-and-legislation/acts-of-parliament/
  

 

Texts of Acts of Parliament as originally passed by Parliament since 1988
are available on the Legislation.gov.uk website. The Parliamentary
Archives has copies of original Acts from 1497.

o [2]Legislation.gov.uk   
o [3]Contact the Parliamentary Archives   

Depending on the scope of your request you may find the following links
helpful in relation to a couple of pieces of Kent legislation. Please note
this is not a comprehensive list, as this information is not held by KCC
in that format. To locate and collate a full list of Kent specific
legislation will take a considerable amount of officer time and as all
legislation is readily available, we would rely on the section 21
exemption as described above:

[5]http://www.kent.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/7069/second-hand-goods-guidance.pdf

 

If you are unhappy with this response, and believe KCC has not complied
with legislation, please ask for a review by following our complaints
process; details can be found at this link
[6]http://www.kent.gov.uk/about-the-council/contact-us/complaints-and-feedback
on our website. Please quote reference FOI/16/0495.

 

If you still remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you can
appeal to the Information Commissioner, who oversees compliance with the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. Details of what you need to do, should
you wish to pursue this course of action, are available from the
Information Commissioner’s website [7]http://www.ico.org.uk/concerns.

 

Yours sincerely
