FOI request Section 106 agreements and funding
Whilst writing, I take this opportunity to remind you of the Information Commissioner"s public statements, in which he has stated that there is a "presumption of disclosure" under FoI.
Please note that if this request for FoI disclosure is refused, I reserve the right to take up the matter with the Information Commissioner and/or to pursue all legal avenues of appeal. I trust this will not be necessary.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
