Our CTG officers will try to respond to queries as soon as possible. However, due to the volume and nature of the requests, some queries will take longer to attend to than others. To help minimise the time taken, please bear in mind the following points — |
10.1 | ordinarily, our licensees/lessees must consent to the disclosure of the information requested due to the sensitive nature of the queries (as such it is preferable that our licensee’s/xxxxxx’s written consent to our disclosure is attached to a request for information); | ||
10.2 | if there is no requirement for the payment of building premium in the contract, then there is no necessity to obtain a confirmation from our CTG officer that there is no outstanding building premium; and | ||
10.3 | our CTG officer would have written to our licensee/lessee if audited accounts have been submitted and the investment criteria has been satisfied, and copies of such letters would be available directly from our licensee/lessee. |
