The reply is typical of John Glen, I would have expected nothing the less from him, he is after all the Treasury door keeper. The one 'blessing' is that the response was unusually short.
Unfortunately the question was weak, define 'recent', days, weeks, months?
Mr Glen is fully aware with what went on with Col (as is the Treasury as a whole), they understandably want to keep their distance, the response reflects that.

I think somebody may have failed to join up the fairly obvious dots... "We are an independent public body funded entirely by the firms we regulate, by charging them fees.

Below is the first answer I received to a very reasonable FOI where I was asking about FCA reporting to the Treasury (sorry I can't post the exact words due to 'the investigation' and possible Court action) I narrowed down the questions to require only 'Yes' / 'No' answers which received a 'non answer' so tried again and was met with

Thanks registerme I'm sure that I have read that doc before but well done for bringing it back to my attention. Having read hundreds of documents over the last 3 and a half years 'stuff' gets sidelined or forgotten. Will take another read today.
