Here is my Freedom of Information Act Form I use to wheedle info out of the people whom we employ with our taxes. Please note that you need to find out what is the correct FOIA address for the relevant organisation.

I have sent ones in then followed up and they claim not to have received it. You also need to set a timer for 20 working days and chase up because quite often you don’t get a reply within the deadline. Any queries, I am happy to help, it’s become a hobby, instead of trainspotting or snooker..

best, Julian.
