I don't see the relevance of referring to pool tables and Samsung TVs in FOI requests. In case anyone is interested, this is the FOI request which I have sent to Bolton Council:

These requests relate to monies paid or to be paid by Bolton Council to Asons Solicitors Ltd, including monies paid or to be paid to any person, company or organisation associated with or connected to Asons (collectively referred to in these requests as “Asons”).

Please:

1. Disclose the precise amount(s) which Bolton Council has paid or agreed to pay to Asons.

2. Name the entity to which each of those amounts has been paid or is to be paid.

3. Identify the legislation (or delegated legislation) pursuant to which Bolton Council made or agreed to make the payments referred to in requests 2 and 3 above.

4. Disclose a copy of all documents and correspondence (including but not limited to minutes of meetings and electronic documents and correspondence) relating to any payments made or agreed to be made to Asons, including (but not limited to) all documents and correspondence relating to Asons' request (or requests) for funding, the Council's consideration of that request (or those requests) and the payment of the monies to Asons.

5. Without prejudice to the generality of request 4 above, disclose a copy of any legal advice which Bolton Council obtained before agreeing to make the relevant payments.

6. Disclose any relationships (whether business, social or otherwise) or connections which any member of Bolton Council has with any director(s) or employee(s) of Asons.
