The City of London (CoL) acknowledges receipt of your request for information of 8 February 2022.

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.

DBE - Information, City of London Corporation

Dear Robin Langfield Newnham,
 
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 (FOIA) - INFORMATION REQUEST
 
Following your request of 8 February 2022, and our acknowledgement of 10
February 2022, the City of London (CoL) responds as follows. 
 
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:

Further, the CoL (including the CoL Police Authority) is legally a
separate body from the City of London Police for the purpose of compliance
with the FOIA. In addition, please note that the City of London Police is
the Police Force for the Square Mile. (Beyond this, the Metropolitan
Police Force is the Police Force for the rest of London. The rest of
England is covered by various other police forces).
 
In accordance with section 1(1)(a) of the FOIA, the CoL confirms that it
does not hold the information you have requested (including in its
capacity as a police authority).
 
You may wish to contact the City of London Police. The FOI contact details
for the City of London Police can be found at:

We hope that this is of assistance.
 
If you wish to make a complaint about the way the CoL has managed your
enquiry, please make your complaint in writing to email address;
[3][email address]. For a link to the CoL’s FOI
complaints procedure, please visit the following page:

FOI complaints procedure. If, having used the CoL’s FOI Complaints
Procedure, you are still dissatisfied, you may request the Information
Commissioner to investigate. Please contact: Information Commissioner,

The FOIA applies to the CoL as a local authority, police authority and
port health authority; and to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama
(GSMD), which it manages. Subject to any other statutory provisions
requiring the CoL to disclose information, release of information outside
the scope of the Act is subject to the discretion of the CoL.
 
The CoL holds the copyright in this communication. Its supply does not
