Seems like a telephone call should solve this one. Ignoring sole-traders,
the information is available on the internet from Companies House. What is
not readily available is a list of all LOCAL companies. If this is your
local trading standards officer then they may simply be asking because they
believe you are the people best placed to provide information which is in
the public domain.

Sorry, I didn't tell the full story ! Trading Standards have asked our
non-domestic rating section for this information. I assume TS haven't got
the information or they wouldn't ask.
