MKC=MKSP or MKSP=MKC and Company House

The request was successful.

Dear Milton Keynes Council,

Can you forward the recorded information on why there is a pseudonym called MKSP that is a registered for profit Company at Companies house, pretending to be - portraying its self as MK Council

Where it is my understanding that only registered for profit companies with directors and share holders get registered.

Who also are the directors and share holders of this Company portraying themselves as MK Council.

Yours faithfully,

Dear B Smith,

 

I am writing to respond to your Internal Review conducted at Stage 2
complaints procedure in which you stated that we failed to provide
Information within the timescales under legislation Freedom of Information
Act.

 

Due to work pressures, and the date being overseen as an administrative
error, this resulted in the response being sent one working day out of the
timeframe.

 

I hope that this satisfactorily addresses your concerns and apologise for
any inconvenience you may have experienced.

 

If you are still unhappy with the outcome of your Internal Review /
complaint you have the right to refer this matter to the ICO whose details
I have provided below, they provide a free and independent service.
