Re: Internal review response[Ref. RCC0533022]
Dear Madam

I am not satisfied this is a review and I am not satisfied you have even taken me seriously. You have merely repeated the original vexatious decision.

Please show me how you reviewed this decision

Case Reference Number RCC0533022

Dear Mr Dransfield

Your request for an internal review of the handling of your information request case reference IRQ0529459, for the following information, has been passed to me to undertake.

“If I understand the subject title correctly the ICO should have been operating a paperless office for the last decade.
Can you please advise me when you expect the ICO to be compliant with such standards.”

I uphold the refusal of this request as vexatious under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) for the reasons given in our letter of 28 February 2014.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of the review you may make a section 50 complaint to the ICO.
