Summary of request
Your request
I am writing to request all correspondence between the Mayor's office and the Embassy of the United States of America - specifically regarding the Embassy's refusal to pay the congestion charge. The Embassy has an outstanding debt since 2003 of more than £14.6m in unpaid congestion charges.
Please could you disclose all written correspondence - in the form of letters or emails - relating to the issue since the current Mayor's election in 2016? If it would be too onerous to search back that far, I am happy to accept correspondence only going back as far as the cost limits of the FOI Act would allow.
Similarly, if it would be too time-consuming to search specifically for correspondence relating to the Embassy's failure to pay the congestion charge, I would be content to receive all correspondence on any subject matter exchanged between the Embassy and the office of the current Mayor, Sadiq Khan.
