Jimmy Savile Tapes

Justice Select Committee

Dear Sirs

Further evidence of wrongdoing by the Information Commissiner’s Office and Surrey Police ref the subject
title.

This is the redacted copy of the Savile interview (tape 1) and bear in mind
the Surrey Police used section 14/1 vexatious as an exemption not to release
the full tapes late last year.

I can understand how and why the Surrey Police would want to withhold the full tapes but is is not section 14(1) and both the ICO and Surrey Police knew
or should have known the request for the Savile Tapes was not vexatious. They
should have relied upon the Data Act 98 not section 14(1) of the FOIA 2000

It beggars belief that the Surrey Police and the ICO have relied upon
section 14(1) of the FOIA 2000,V exatious Exemption.

For your information action and files

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Bradshaw MP

This is a clear example why we must save the FOIA from the dark forces who
attack it i.e., Coalition Government and the Information Commissioner’s Office

Justice Select Committee

Dear Sirs

Please see the ICO decision notice attached, which I consider is tangible
evidence that the ICO and the Crown Prosecution Service are complicit to pervert the course of justice
and is a flagrant breach of section 77 of the FOIA 2000.

In particular, please ref to para 15 &16 of the ICO decision which the
ICO & CPS have relied upon the GIA/3037/2011 Dransfield v ICO and Devon
County Council.

As you are aware the GIA case is still before the Court of Appeal as a live
active case under C3/2013/1855.

For you information,action and files

with thanks

Yours sincerely

Mr Bradshaw MP recommended this course of acton

Vexatious Posted on Tue, March 24, 2015 01:34:43

Email sent – Dear Mr Bradshaw

Upon your recommendation ,I hand carried 4 FOIA requests to the DCC today
and was appalled to see the reception does not have a receipt stamp.They hand
sign each copy of correspondence.

Are they living in the dark ages or has austerity really took a
grip??

It will be V interesting to see how they respond to my requests which are
all brand new but I would envisage section 14(1) will be handed out to me AGAIN.
Time will tell.

For your information,action and files

with thanks

Ofstead abuse of FOIA

OFSTED

Dear Sirs

Please see the attached ICO decision dated 11th March 2015 which is the
latest scam from the ICO, in which they have used the GIA/3037/2011 Dransfield v
ICO case. In particular,see para 15 &16.

I consider that OFSTED have acted in bad faith by reliance on section
14(1) vexatious exemption and are breaching section 77 of the FOIA 2000. In
essence OFSTED are using section 14(1) Vexatious exemption as a get out of jail free card.

Please consider this as a FOIA request for a copy of the original OFSTED
vexatious decision and the OFSTED review.

For your information,action and files.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield
