Number of Kingdom Halls of the Jehovah's Witnesses in England and Wales

The request was refused by Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Dear Charity Commission for England and Wales,

I am doing some research on the Jehovah's Witnesses religion, and I understand that they are a charity that are regulated by yourselves. Could you please respond to me with the numbers of Kingdom Halls of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Yours faithfully,

Anon

Dear Mr Myers

Thank you for your request for information which was received by the
Charity Commission 16 May 2019.  You asked:

“Could you please respond to me with the numbers of Kingdom Halls of
Jehovah's Witnesses.”

Your request for information has been processed under the provisions of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

I can confirm that the Commission holds the requested information, however
this information is exempt from disclosure under Section 21 of the Act.
 Section 21(1) states:

“Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise
than under section 1 is exempt information.”

 

The information is exempt under section 21 of the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) because the information is reasonably accessible to you.  You
