    Sirs,

    Under the Freedom of Information Act;

    I should also like figures from 2005 to present detailing the number of cases from all authorities in England which non payment has resulted in a liability order.

    I should also like figures from 2005 to present detailing the number of cases from all authorities in England which non payment has resulted in bailiffs being instructed.

    If these are broken down by demographic that would be very helpful.

    Kind regards

      Thank you for your e-mail of 17 October 2009 requesting information about the number of cases from local authorities in England since 2005 where non-payment of council tax has resulted in a liability order and the number of cases since 2005 which non-payment of council tax has resulted in bailiffs being instructed. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

      I am writing to advise you that I am unable to provide you with the information you asked for as Communities and Local Government does not hold this information. However, the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accounting (CIPFA), collect information relating to council tax collection and enforcement by local authorities.

      You should be able to obtain the information you are seeking by contacting CIPFA. Their website is: CIPFA - The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and their address is: 3 Robert Street, London. WC2N 6RL, Telephone: 020 7543 5700. Email: corporate@cipfa.org.uk

      Communities and Local Government as an organisation aims to be as helpful as possible in the way it deals with requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. If, however, you are not satisfied with the way in which your request has been handled or the outcome, you may request an internal review within two calendar months of the date of this letter. Information about the Department's review procedures and how to apply for an internal review of your case is contained in the enclosed leaflet. This also explains your right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision in the event that you remain dissatisfied following the authority's review

      If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me.

      Yours sincerely



      Brian Entwistle
