Dear Alex Brodie,

Many thanks for your response; although I do note that it should have been returned to myself by the 15th of May.

Unfortunately I am unable to locate the information that I require from the link that you sent me, perhaps you could point me to the document/section in question? For clarification, I am specifically interested in a comprehensive breakdown of Merton Borough Council's stocks and shares portfolio, including the full name of each company. By comprehensive, I am referring to details of quantity and type of share for each party concerned. I have from the link that you have sent me only been able to find totals and a reference to a Balance Sheet but not the details that I require.

Just to make sure that there is absolute clarity on this, I require the information for the whole of the group and associate parties/companies/bodies that you have influence over.

Please note, that should any particular part of this request be out of scope then please detail what this area is and provide me with all information that is in scope of the FOI act as per my request.

I look forward to receiving you response in the very near future.

Yours sincerely,

James

Rosalind Girdlestone, Merton Borough Council
