The law is the law

if a tenant demands the letter of the law then that is that

if you don’t like it then try to change the law

gold luck with that

Is it just me? Does anyone else understand the point of this response?

Yes it’s just you

i don’t think many others have a problem understanding that you must not break the law

Oh I understand that easily enough. It was the point of putting it in a post I struggled with...

So could anybody please help me as my letting agent is now breaking the law by still not providing me the LLs contact details even though I have requested in writing more than once and the required amount of time has passed they still break the law

what is my next step please?

As has been said (multiple times) trading standards enforce this. You cannot make a claim against this breach

So on what (exact) date(s) did you send your letter(s)? 1st or 2nd class?

Assuming the 21 days has passed, contact local Trading Standards - as already advised in my earlier post on page 2. Come back in 3 months and tell us how far you've got....

We have asked the letting agent we pay our rent to for the LLs contact details to explain why we can’t pay at rent at the moment. They refuse to give it to us for over 20 days now. What is my next step to take legal action?

Why haven't you communicated with the LL via the letting agent?  If you merely wish pass them information.

Trying to get hold of trading standards is problematic right now

i have written to them snail mail just like one of my fist official requested in writing from agent.

im keeping very good records of everything just in case the courts are opened up again

i have informed the agent that they are and breach of trading standards and I have reported them

they still refuse to let me get in contact with the LL

something smells fishy, maybe the LL has died? Or the agent is upto no good somehow

No, there are two offences: a criminal and a civil offence.  A criminal prosecution can be brought privately.

Send round the rozzers!!
As well as trading standards you could raise a complaint via whichever redress scheme the letting agent is signed up to although first you must raise a complaint with the letting agent itself.

I fully understand that the letting agent does not appear to be complying with the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 here but why is it so important for you to explain to the landlord why you are in arrears?  Why don't you simply communicate this to the landlord's agent?

I think you're reading too much into this.  Even if the landlord had died, strange conclusion to jump to, why would that matter?  The rental property would become part of the landlord's estate at that point.
