Dear Freedom of Information,

My full name is Felix Mann.

To answer your questions:
What date period?
In each year since the current statutory charges were set in 2008.

Do you only want to know when a motorist pays recovery and storage or also when they only pay for recovery?
Both recovery and storage and recovery only.

Do you only want to know when a motorist pays? What if an insurance company pays or a salvage company acting on behalf of an insurance company?
I would like to know the total number of payments made by motorists or on their behalf, regardless of who paid (i.e. either a motorist, insurance company etc.).

(b) the amount of money motorists have paid in recovery and storage charges to retrieve their stolen vehicles, by your police force in each year since the current statutory charges were set in 2008?

Do you only want to know when a motorist pays? What if an insurance company pays or a salvage company acting on behalf of an insurance company?
Same as before.

Yours sincerely,
Felix

Dear Mr Felix Mann

 

 

 

Freedom of Information Request 2018/20986

 

 

Thank you for your recent request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 which was received in this office on the 30 April 2018.

 

Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties
on public authorities.  Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at,
Section 1(1) (a), is to confirm or deny whether the information specified
in a request is held. The second duty at, Section1 (1) (b), is to disclose
information that has been confirmed as being held.

 

Under the provisions of those sections of FOIA, I can confirm that
information you requested is held by Gwent Police for the below questions
and we are able to comply with your request to supply information.

 

 

The information that you are seeking is in relation to the following:

 

 

Request:-

 

Please provide the information held on

(a) the number of motorists who have paid recovery and storage charges to
retrieve their stolen vehicles

(b) the amount of money motorists have paid in recovery and storage
charges to retrieve their stolen vehicles, by your police force in each
year since the current statutory charges were set in 2008?

 

 

Response:-

 

 

 

Freedom of Information Act is a public disclosure regime, not a private
regime. Any information disclosed under the Act is thereafter deemed to be
in the public domain, and therefore freely available to the general public
and will be published on the Gwent Police website. 

 

 

Thank you for your interest in Gwent Police.
