Information Commissioner’s Office investigates itself. Hmmmmm

Justice Select Committee

Dear Sirs

Please see the attached Information Commissioner’s Office decision FS 50568146 dated 15/3/2015. This ICO
decision is tangible evidence that the ICO is not independent as they
claim.

Whilst the Complainant to this decision is not named,i t is public knowledge
that the Complainant was employees of the ICO; hence, how can the ICO remain
independent when they investigate complaints about themselves made by
themselves?

Moreover and more importantly, there is a huge public interest in this
particular case. Hence, the ICO weas wrong to refuse the FOIA request from its
own employees.

For your information, action and files

Public authority changes is plea mid-stream

Justice Select Committee

Dear Sirs

I wish to present further tangible evidence of wrongdoing by the Information Commissioner’s Office via their illegal use of section 14(1) vexatious
exemption.

Please see the attached ICO decision dated 11th Mar 2015 ref Fowery Parish
Council and in particular para 17 which relies on the Dransfield Case
GIA/3037/2011.

The ICO appear to have turned a blind eye to the fact that the Public
Authority changed its plea mid-stream.

For your information, action and files.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield.

ICO

Dear Sirs

Under protection of the FOIA 2000 please provide me with a PDF copy of the
Metadata and in particular a copy of all internal and external emails containing
my name between 2005 and Feb 2015.

This should not be confused with a DPA 98 request as I am not seeking data
about myself.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Excluded from the FOIA private contractors with public works contracts

Information Commissioner Posted on Mon, March 09, 2015 12:59:53

Email sent – 02 March 2015 06:37

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the following article which confirms that private contractors working on Public Works contracts shall not be included under the FOIA 2000.

And where have the Shadow Government been all this time. Surely not sleeping on the job again.

It is necessary and vital to included PA contractors within the remit of the FOIA, for example the PFI & PPP nationwide contracts alone are in the region of £200 billion. Moreover and more importantly, this figure is not included in the National Debt.

The coalition and your mob are always banging the drum ref transparency, accountability and security (TAS), which is a joke. TAS must be seen to be working; if it ain’t seen to be working, in all probability it ain’t working.

The PFI schools project in Exeter is worth £600 million and there is zilch TAS. Hang your head in shame Mr Bradshaw. No wonder Devon County Council is spending thousands of pounds defending their Dransfield Vexatious decisions and have slapped a lifetime email ban against me.

Polite reminder for you to reconsider your ban against me attending your Friday night surgery.

Yours in disgust

Dransfield
