Dear Mr Carruthers

I refer to your Freedom of Information request to which I am now in a position to respond. I have identified two requests within your email and I will respond to them in turn.

1. Please provide copies of all contracts between the South Norfolk District Council and Sprake & Kingsley Solicitors of Bungay related to the invoices supplied in FOI 13-165.
Under section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am advising you that the Council does not hold the information you have requested – this was stated in our response to FOI 13-165

2. Please also provide details of any payments to Sprake & Kingsley Solicitors made by the Council to this firm related to the above FoI.
I attach copies of invoices from Sprake and Kingsley Solicitors in relation to Land at Middle Road, Denton. In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 I have redacted the names of two individuals from the invoices.

I hope this is of assistance and is sufficient to meet your requirements, but if, for whatever reason you wish to get back to me, please feel free to do so. In particular if you are unhappy with the information provided or how your request was handled please let me know and I will explain how you can request an internal review of our decision.
