Attn Miss Gemma Garvey, ICO
Please provide me with copies of the following documents ref FS 50532725
dated 5th June 2014:-
1. Copies of all internal emails on this case.
2. Copy of all your telephone notes on this case.
You have reached your final decision notice without asking me one single
question and you didn’t have the courtesy to sign your own letter.
Please treat this as a formal FOI request.

Attn Mrs Gemma Garvey
Dear Miss Garvey
I acknowledge and thank you for your decision notice FS50532725 dated 5th
June 2014.
Please review this decision as I do not accept your findings.
It would also appear you have treated this matter as a normal FOIA request
which has been signed by Graham Smith the Deputy Commissioner.
I was under the impression you were treating this as a formal complaint
against the conduct of the ICO Officials.
A very cute ploy may I say.
In the first instance, please provide me with an electronic copy of your
decision notice FS50532735.
I make this request because your website is 14 days in arrears of you
decision dates. Another cute ploy to frustrate any appellants?
I am also very concerned your Mr Graham Smith is still signing FOIA
decisions as Graham Smith when you have two Graham Smiths and both are Deputy
Commissioners.
It is SOP in such matters for a full signature or at the very least an
initial. Another cute ploy at disinformation?
I consider Mr Smith’s decision to be part of a wider conspiracy to circumvent
the FOIA 2000. Please forward this email to your line manager, Mrs Clements
With thanks
Yours sincerely
Alan M Dransfield
