Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Common Council of the City of London should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Common Council of the City of London,

1. how much did you allocated to your DHP budget on 1.4.2013?
2. How much do you have left now?
3. how many applications have you had since 1.4.2013?
4. how many have you approved?
5. how many have you rejected?
Yours faithfully,

kim lehm

Dear Ms Lehm,
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 (FOIA) - INFORMATION REQUEST
 
The City of London (CoL), sometimes also called the City of London
Corporation, acknowledges receipt of your request for information of 15
August 2013, which is identical to the request you submitted on 14 August
2013 at 21:24.
 
(Please note that, although the WDTK site lists the CoL at two places –
[1]http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/body/city_...
[2]http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/body/commo...
- where your identical requests are listed, the CoL is in fact only one
legal entity. We have informed the WDTK website of this and explained that
it would be less confusing for applicants if the site referred to the CoL
under one name instead of maintaining two lists and two names for the same
legal entity, but it has declined to make the change. For further
clarification of the position of the CoL under the FOIA, please see
Paragraph 9 of Schedule 1 of the FOIA, which describes the CoL as being
subject to the FOIA with regard to 'The Common Council of the City of
London, in respect of information held in its capacity as a local
authority, police authority or port health authority').
 
Please also note that, as these requests are identical, the CoL will only
be responding to first request you submitted, on 14 August 2013.
 
Public authorities are required to respond to requests within the
statutory timescale of 20 working days beginning from the first working
day after they receive a request. The Act does not always require public
authorities to disclose the information which they hold.
 
The FOIA applies to the CoL as a local authority, police authority and
port health authority. The CoL is the local and police authority for the
“Square Mile”, ie the historic City of London, and not for London as a
whole. Please see the following link to a map on the CoL's website, which
shows the area covered:
[3]www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/maps/Pages/explore-the-city.aspx.
The CoL’s port health authority functions extend beyond the City boundary.
For further information please see: [4]www.cityoflondon.gov.uk.
 
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Information Officer
Town Clerk’s Department
City of London
