Dear Filip Peroni

Thank you for your email in which you request information under the provisions of freedom of information legislation.

The information you have requested is not routinely disclosed by Royal Mail, and following the flotation of Royal Mail on the London Stock Exchange in October 2013, it is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Royal Mail was previously subject to the Act because it was wholly owned by the government. However, now that the government has sold its shares in Royal Mail, this is no longer the case. Therefore, we are no longer obliged to respond to requests for information under the terms of the FOI Act.

I am sorry we are unable to assist you further on this occasion.

Yours sincerely,

Kate Watkinson
