Dear Miss Robilliard
I have received a request for a review of a decision under the Freedom of
Information Act.
This is your request for a variety of information headed "RBKC +
Charities".
We have already told you that the information you seek is not held by us.
I note in your request that `you do not find it acceptable that
information is not held'.
I am afraid I cannot comment on what is acceptable to you. Our duty is to
consider whether or not we have the information and then whether we are
able to disclose it.
The Council has a variety of responsibilities in law but these do not
extend to keeping records of the matters you are interested in.
I have now completed the review of this decision, and our original
decision will not be changed because the information you seek is simply
not available.
If you wish to take this matter further, you have a right of appeal to the
Information Commissioner.
Yours sincerely
Derek Myers
Town Clerk and Chief Executive
Dear Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea,
It implies corruption not to disclose it and is of the interest of residents and taxpayers to do so, I am asking you once more to please disclose thia information
Yours faithfully,

Why would RBKC keep - what must be fairly minimal information regarding Charities - a secret from the public? What is this apparent deep need (that all can see too clearly) for RBKC to be as secretive as possible?
