Dear Sian,

Thanks for your reply but no form was attached as stated. Please provide the same.

Also can you please confirm the authority on which your reply is based for Council Tax is from The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) (Amendment) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2003, SI 2003 #2211

Yours sincerely,

Marc

Dear Mr Horn,

I don't know what I can do about the form, it was attached to my email, so it appears to be a problem with WDTK; I have had this happen before. I'll attach it again and hope their system can cope with a single attachment.

You asked for 'the format of a warrant of committal for non payment of council tax' under the FOIA, and therefore I sent you information in the possession of MOJ, i.e. the format used by its operating system to produce the warrant. That is all that can be provided under FOIA; explanations, justifications etc are outside its remit.

Cofion, Regards,

Dear Mr Horn,

I can see it on WDTK, so you can access it from the website. Anyway, I don't think I have your email address.

I will log your latest request for information and it will be dealt with in the usual time scales.
