A DUNS number, which stands for Data Universal Numbering System, is a unique nine-digit identifier for businesses, charities? I understand that if TMC has a DUNS number then TMC is a private, for-profit company not a charity. I request that you remove or correct the FOI request response web page, here: http://www.moray.gov.uk/moray_standard/page_159843.html to show the truth, which should be as I understand;
Description of Requested Records: (NB - Your Corporation = Moray Council).
1. Your Corporations DUNS Number, (Data Universal Numbering System).
2. Your Corporations Company Number with Companies House.
3. Your Corporations ICO number, (Information Commissioner's Office).

Response 16-04-2025
Following your request for a review (our ref: 101003751854) of your Freedom of Information (FOI) Request Corporation Number (our ref: 101003714358), a review meeting was held on 14th April 2025. In attendance were the Information Governance Manager and Data Protection Officer, Assistant Manager FMS & Banking, Solicitor, and Information Co-ordinator.
Your FOI Request (101003714358) from 5th February 2025 was discussed.
We confirm that our original response was correct, and we uphold our response of “not applicable” for your questions 1. and 2. The Moray Council is not a company.
The Council does have an interest in some private limited companies (e.g. SEEMIS), which is why our name may appear in a Companies Register search.
