Yes, I entirely agree (about BT and drumming up business etc.). This is precisely what the JV was intended to do, and LDL is clearly good at what it do...
Having digested the response, and not now being able to ask any more questions about this third party business, I have now decided to make a formal com...
This isn't quite right either. The company with that number is not BT Finance, it is GE Capital Equipment Finance Ltd. This company is owned by General...
Great question.
To avoid the usual delays, LCC should perhaps be aware of this statement by BT, on page 7 of a 2011 publication called "Better Outcome...
The text of the internal review is reproduced below.
I clearly cannot submit any more questions about the 3rd party clients of LDL, but I don't reall...
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for reproducing this, there were several extraordinary assertions that I didn't pursue at the time I read them - but concentrated on...
The delay on this is shocking, but not really surprising, as I doubt they actually did any.
As to whether or not the BT Contract Rentals to which LCC...
It's hard to see what's taking all this time.
The company registration number is a standard part of the accounting records.
They are clearly determined not to give any information about the responsibilities, salaries and budgets controlled by LCC employees seconded to LDL....
There are two truly peculiar aspects to this that need some explanation:
1) The first is about BTCR - as I have pointed out in an annotation to anoth...
This is a very odd answer.
BT Contract Rentals is, according to Companies House (Webcheck), a company with share capital of £2 that has been dormant s...
Regarding question 4, the tendering process, have a look at Tenders Electronic Daily (ted.europa.eu). There is no sign of this tender there. There's an...
Jenny,
For what it's worth, I am really sorry for the FOI people, as I suspect the reasons for their frequently late, pathetic and inadequate respons...
Jenny,
Perhaps I'm dense, but to me the answer to your question about benchmarking is not clear at all.
Are they saying the proposal was evaluated in...
Jenny,
This is so overdue (10 weeks or so since your original request) that I think you should just complain straight to the Information Commissioner...
I have received the following response to this request in the correspondence about another request http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/details_of_inc...
I checked the company documents. This practice breaches the provisions on Board Meetings in the Joint Venture Agreement establishing LDL.
Clause 9....
This is jaw-droppingly awful - although it fits with the astonishing response to the question about accounting information - i.e. it is reported at Boa...
What a pity the review did not address the questions about substantiating the figures. Presumably it ignored them because strictly speaking they would...
So all this presumably means the council accounts for the year were wrong - since they added the 40 million in twice, as far as I can see.
I wonder i...
I know, but it seems likely that Information Officers and anyone else involved in digging out information in response to FOI requests are not allowed t...
Ah.. so perhaps it's not as bad as it seemed.
I was concerned because recent requests for email correspondence (between Hilton and McElhinney, for in...
Jenny,
I think this initiative is actually against the law - and I really hope someone will pursue it.
This is actual evidence of single-minded det...
This insistence on getting Ernst & Young's consent is a bit silly, and unnecessary, strictly speaking.
As I mentioned in an earlier annotation, the te...
Two points about the legal advice:
LCC say the claim was made in the Proposal received on 27 May 2011. And sought internal advice. Was this the advice...
