Financial Transaction Tax
Dear Blackpool Borough Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to respectfully request the following information:
With reference to the Financial Transaction Tax, I successfully campaigned for the Robin Hood Tax for Blackpool. The motion was successful and carried at the council meeting on 18 December 2013.
Can you please confirm the following and where appropriate, provide the requested documentation:
i) When did the Chief Executive write to the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer outlining the Council's support for the introduction of such a tax.
ii) Would you please provide me with copies of both communications.
iii) Would you please provide me with copies of the replies received along with any other relevant documentation.
Yours faithfully,
Garry Richardson
