Subject: Official Information request - LGFA vs Local Authority's

[You don't often get email from [email address]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I note that you have the Local Government Funding Agency under your administration,

As the LGFA constitutes a council-controlled organisation” under the Local Government Act 2002, please supply the following information under the Official Information Act (OIA) and or Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA):

1. What is the company that the LGFA is registered as under the Companies Register?
2. What are the sources of funds being the guaranteed creditors and or beneficiaries, if any, available to the LGFA that were not available under the previous lending regime, where the LGFA can raise funds?
3. Are the funds hedged using interest rate swaps or derivatives of any nature?
4. How is each Local Authority and or guarantor protected from other defaulting guarantors and or local authorities?

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Mitchell
