London Mooring Price Review 2019/2020

The request was refused by Canal & River Trust.

Dear Canal & River Trust,

Please can I have copies of all documents of any kind (including letters, emails, reports, and notes of meetings) which explain, relate to or informed the deliverations leading to and the outcome of the London Mooring Price Review as reported to me and others in letters dated around 7 March 2019. Those should include all and any documents passing between CRT and any external advisors and consultantsand other bodies other than documents (or parts of documents) relating to the commercial terms (as opposed to other terms of engagement) on which CRT engaged those external advisors or consultant.

You will be aware of my appeal, currently before the ICO, against the CRT's assertion that the information I seek is not within FOIA. I make this request to get the ball rolling on this further request expecting that the outcome of the ICO process will inform this request in due course.

Yours faithfully,

David Wolfe

Dear Mr Wolfe,

Thank you for contacting the Canal & River Trust with your request for information. May I apologise for the delay you have experienced in receiving a response from the Trust.

As you are aware form previous requests for information the scope to which the Freedom of Information Act applies to the Trust is limited to information held which broadly speaking relates the operation and maintenance of the inland waterway network for which we are responsible.

We maintain that the information you have requested in relation to the outcome of the London Mooring Price review in 2019 is outside the scope of the Trust's FOI obligations, for the same reasons that we have provided to you and the ICO in respect of your request for information in relation to the outcome of the 2018 price review.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of the date of this email and should be sent by email to [email address] or by post to Information Officer, Legal Department, Canal & River Trust, Canal & River Trust, Fearns Wharf, Neptune Street, Leeds, LS9 8PB. You are also able to contact the Information Commissioner by telephoning 0303 123 1113 although please note they would usually expect you to have gone through our internal review procedure before contacting them.

Many Thanks
