Dear Ms Corderoy

 

Thank you for your request for information regarding the Brexit Party

 

I can advise that the information requested is as follows:

 

I can confirm that there has been internal and external correspondence and
communication which mentions, or refers to, the Brexit Party, by the local
Returning Officer for the Copeland local counting area [and by the
Regional Returning Officer for the North West Region]. However, Returning
Officers are not public bodies subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
The functions of these officers are separate from the functions of an
authority which employs them and there is no statutory obligation for a
Returning Officer to provide you with information or supply answers to
your questions. Consequently, the Council is unable to provide you with
information that is held by or on behalf of the Returning Officer where
the Council does not also hold that information on its own behalf.
Please note that a list of public bodies and local authorities who are
subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act are listed in
Schedule 1 to the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Act does not list
any person appointed under the Representation of the People Act 1983. It
therefore follows that the Returning Officer, Electoral Registration
Officer or any other person appointed under the Act are not subject to the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.

 

I hope this is the information you require, but do not hesitate to contact
me if you wish to clarify anything further.

 

The Council makes every effort to make sure that the services it provides
are as efficient and effective as possible, and this includes any requests
under the Freedom of Information Act.

 

If you believe that your request has not been dealt with satisfactorily
you should follow the Council’s complaints procedure.

 

If you have followed the complaints procedure and are still not happy with
how your request has been dealt with you may also contact the:
