Dear Alex Beard,
Thank you for your email of 21 August in which you made the following clarification of a
previous request for information:
That your office confirms if it holds the same records, in the forms I requested
previously.
I would like to restrict the time period to one month, between January 1st and February
1st of 2019.
I would also ask that this covers all discussions with Google.
*original request
I would like to know if the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is able to
confirm that it holds information, records of minuted meetings, emails or written
correspondence, with representatives of the multinational technology company,
Google.
I have dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). I can
confirm the department holds information within scope of your request. Because you have
made it clear that you do not wish to receive any copies of said information the department has
not considered this information for release.
For more advice and guidance on how to make a freedom of information request please
consult the Information Commissioner’s Office website:
https://ico.org.uk/your-data-
matters/official-information/. Yours sincerely,
Freedom of Information Team
Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
