Dear Ms MacConnachie,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 (FOIA) - INFORMATION REQUEST

The City of London (CoL) acknowledges receipt of your request for information of 31 May 2012.

Public authorities are required to respond to requests within the statutory timescale of 20 working days beginning from the first working day after they receive a request. The Act does not always require public authorities to disclose the information which they hold.

The FOIA applies to the CoL as a local authority, police authority and port health authority. The CoL is the local and police authority for the “Square Mile”, ie the historic City of London, and not for London as a whole. Please see the following link to a map on the CoL's website, which shows the area covered:

The CoL’s port health authority functions extend beyond the City boundary. For further information please see: www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/porthealth<http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/porthealth>.

Yours sincerely,
