Dear Mr Bradshaw

I really don’t think that you are setting a very good example for a paperless office are you? You insist on sending out hard copy replies to your constituents, which quite frankly beggars belief from a former Environmental Minister

I was under the opinion that Government Offices were supposed to operate a paperless office. It’s fairly obvious that these guidelines have not filtered down to the ICO/FTT or UT Courts Yyet.

Drawbacks with hard copy records are:-

1.Environmental Impact.

2.Fire hazards ref paper records.

3.Large storage area required.

4. Expensive storage cabinets etc required

5. Time and expense searching hard copies

6. Expense of post and package and stationary

7.More expense option

Quite frankly Mr Bradshaw it beggars belief that a large number of Government and public authorities are still using the antiquated hard copy paperworks system.

What is the Shadow Government view on paperless offices please?

I would be most grateful if you would cease from sending me hard copy replies to my letters, as it disturbs my environmental conscience.

I am trying to operate a paperless office but my MP insists on sending hard copies of correspondence, ditto for the ICO/FTT and UT.

I can’t imagine how much the Devon County Council costs are for their hard copy paper documents system. Ditto for the ICO

Can you advise me when your office is expected to achieve a paperless office please?

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Dransfield

I have no knowledge of the Exeter Chiefs stadium. It is outside the area of my responsibility. I suggest you address your question to the local authority of the area in which it is situated.

Dear Lou
You have confirmed to me that the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Stadium will be safe for next year’s Rugby World Cup Finals but you have not included the subject title.

Can you please confirm the Lightning Protection system at the Exeter Chiefs Stadium is fully compliant to relevant Lightening Standards.

With thanks

Subject: Complaint against Upper Tribunal Judge SM Wright

Mr Justice Charles

Upper Tribunal President

Dear Sir

I wish to make a complaint of misconduct against Judge SM Wright in the manner he has handled a recent UT Case and his subsequent final decision notice..

In particular, I refer to the UT hearing in London on the 16th Oct 2014 ref GIA/1642/2014 Dransfield v the ICO and House of Lords.

Judge SM Wright upheld the ICO decision, “DO NOT HOLD THE SOUGHT AFTER DATA”.

No person applying a right and proper mind could have reached such a decision because the House of Lords (HoL) have a legal obligation to hold the sought after data, i.e. Lightning Risk Assessment (LRA) for the Westminster Parliament Premises.

As you are aware, I have a long running complaint against another UT Judge,i.e Judge Wikeley ref GIA/3037/2011 Dransfield v ICO &Devon County County Council, which you have refused to investigate pending the Court of Appeal Hearing in London on the 27/28th Jan 2015.

I accept that the GIA/1642/2014 is not VEXATIOUS related but it would appear the Upper Tribunal are determined to obstruct Justice in cases involving Dransfield.

Judge Wright claims in his decision notice that it is NOT the duty of the FTT/ICO or the UT to investigate if the HoL “SHOULD” hold the sought after data.

It is inconceivable that a Upper Tribunal Judge would not investigate the Legal Obligation of the Public Authority to HOLD the sought after data.

Therefore, the emphasis of my complaint is Judge SM Wright MINDSET ref “SHOULD HOLD” definition.

In all probability, the House of Lords have a legal obligation under UK and EU Laws to hold the sought after data and the ICO/FTT and the UT were very wrong to not investigate this matter. Indeed, it is not a question of fact if they should hold the Lightning Risk Assessment, as it is well documented in Statutory Law.

Any right minded person would investigate if the House of Lords held a legal remit to hold the Lightning Risk Assessment.

Judge SM Wright was very wrong to dismiss my appeal based on the fact the HoL claimed they did not hold the LRA documents.

My allegations of wrongdoing falls under the UT Rules and Procedures related to “Judicial Misconduct ie Rule 34(b).

There is evidence to support my claims the FTT and the UT are part of a wider conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and to circumvent the FOIA 2000.

At this juncture, there are two UT decisions which debar the general public access to the FOIA 2000.

A1. The GIA/3037/2011 Dransfield v ICO &DCC. (Vexatious).

A2. The GIA/1642/2014 Dransfield v ICO& House of Lords.( Do not hold)

….I request the Upper Tribunal to add my complaint against Judge SM Wright to my complaint against Judge Wikeley.

…It should be noted that Judge Wright has subsequently refused permission for me my leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal.

Please be informed that I now intend to appeal Judge Wrights GIA/1642/2014 decision to the Court of Appeal.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

I am currently preparing a case for the European Court of Human Rights and was horrified to learn they only accept hard copy application forms.

No wonder the EU are spending billions of Euros of taxpayers’ money if they don’t have a basic paperless office and are solely reliant upon hard copy files. For God’s sake man, we are in the 21st Century, not the 17th.

Please see the ECHR application form and in particular the box at the top of the page.

Please raise this matter with the appropriate oversight authorities.

With thanks

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Further to my email yesterday, sent whilst travelling on National Express Coach to London, I observed a large construction site in the Heart of London with 8 Tower Cranes in Buckingham Palace Road, 4 of which were not displaying any aviation lights as required by law.

In light of the tragic incident last year (not accident) in which a helicopter crashed into an unprotected Tower Crane at St George Wharf, I would have envisaged the HSE and Local Authorities would have tightened up on such matters. Obviously not.

No doubt the HSE are still working on that incident!

I also have grave concerns for a new wind turbine recently installed within a stone’s throw of the M4 at the Basingstoke/Reading Junction and practically sitting on top of an office block.

In the event the blades of this wind turbine are detached in a storm, as is most common nationwide, the offices or the M4 could have wind turbine blade where it shouldn’t be.

Can you imagine the carnage if that blade falls onto the M4 at peak period?

I would be most grateful if you would write to the appropriate oversight authorities on these two issues please – Minister of Transport for the WT debacle and the Mayor of London for the tower crane debacle.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the following article ref the Health and Safety Executive banning traditional british games for school children in the UK, ie Conkers, British Bulldog and Leapfrog. My question to my MP is, has the HSE gone mad?

It is OK to install a wind turbine in a school’s playground but not OK for the kids to play tried and tested playground games.

I appreciate you are currently awaiting a response from the HSE ref the two collapsed WTs in the South West last year, but I would ask my MP to bring this matter to the appropriate Minister for the HSE.

Tell me Mr Bradshaw, would you allow your children to attend a school, which had a WT in the Playground?

I suppose they could tie the naughty kids to the blades and let them spin for a couple of hours? Personally, I would like to tie the HSE CEO and leave her there for a couple of days.

With thanks

Yours sincerely
