Current and historical Registers of Interest data

The request was partially successful.

Dear City of York Council,

Please treat this email as a Freedom of Information request.

I would like to receive a copy of the complete current local authority Register of Interest for all elected politicians in a machine-readable spreadsheet format such as a CSV file, including any additional information that may not be published on your website.

If you hold records relating to historical registers of interest for current and former elected politicians I would be grateful if you could also supply them.

I would also like to receive a copy of the complete current local authority Gifts and Hospitality Registers for all elected politicians in a machine-readable spreadsheet format, including any data that may not be published on your website.

If you hold historical records of gifts or hospitality received for current and former elected politicians I would be grateful if you could also supply them.

Lastly, if you hold a separate register of interests that records those declared at meetings, please also supply that register in a machine-readable spreadsheet format. Again, if you hold historical records of declarations that may not be published on your website, please supply details.

I would prefer not to receive the requested information in pdf format files.

If the requested information is published as open data, please could you supply the location where this data can be found.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Ally Tibbitt

Steel, Dawn, City of York Council

Dear Ally, please accept my apologies for being somewhat late in our
response to you on your request.  I am sure you will appreciate the very
exceptional circumstances we are all working in and living under at the
moment, due to Covid 19.

 

As you are probably aware, you can currently view the registers of
interest and of gifts and hospitality for our existing Councillors by
going to our website here
[1]https://democracy.york.gov.uk/mgMemberIn... This takes you
to the Councillor page and you will need to click on the Councillor in
whom you are interested and then view their register from there.

 

Beyond that, I am afraid we do not have archived records for former
Councillors.  Nor, are we able to provide the current registers you
requested in a ‘machine readable spreadsheet format’.  This is because the
format we use is embedded within the framework of a bought in ‘committee
management system’ which is not alterable in house and is not designed to
‘archive’ old records. 

 

I am sorry that on this occasion we cannot provide the information in the
format you have requested but thank you for asking.
