Justice Select Committee

Dear Sirs

Over the past 12 months I have sent tangible evidence to Ed Beale ref the
subject title. Please see the latest ICO vexatious decision, which I consider to
be further tangible evidence of a wider pattern of systemic failures by the ICO
to pervert the course of justice by the wrongful application of section
14(1).

In particular, please see para 12-13 which makes direct ref to my case
GIA/3037/2011 which is still before the Court of Appeal.

Please also see the ICO/CPS latest vexatious decision, which also uses my
case above as a court precedence in para 15.

In my view there is sufficient tangible evidence that the ICO is conspiring with other 3rd parties to pervert the course of Justice via section
77 of the FOIA 2000 and in particular the willful and flagrant use of section
14(1) vexatious. In other words the ICO is gaffing Joe Public and obstructing
the FOIA 2000.

No person applying a right and proper mind could have reached a vexatious
exemption decision on the two attached cases.

Enough is enough of this vexatious exemption nonsense and I call upon the
Justice Select Committee to call for a Public Inquiry into the wrongful and
illegal use of Vexatious exemptions under section 14(1).

For your information, action and files.

With thanks

Yours sincerely

Alan M Dransfield.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the attached Asbestos Guidance from the Devon County Council. Your attention is
drawn to the date of this document i.e 2009.

It would appear also that the DCC is devoid of any Asbestos Policy and
Procedures for Asbestos.

It would appear the DCC do not take their legal obligations ref Asbestos safety seriously.

Yours etc

Dear Mr Bradshaw

I am deeply concerned at the recent headline news on the BBC that 9 out 10
Devon Schools have asbestos and the £1/4 million damages payout to a former
pupil.

Please see my FOIA request from Sep 2012 which was refused under section
14(1) vexatious.

It beggars belief the Devon County Council has paid out 1/4 million pounds in compensation
for asbestos-related illness, which in essence could open the floodgates to
former students in Devon schools. No doubt the DCC has been hugely cost-impacted on these asbestos court cases, as well as the Dransfield FOIA cases.

Enough is enough Mr Bradshaw; you are failing your fiduciary duty of care
as MP for Exeter by your inactions and failures.

The recent BBC publication of asbestos dangers in Devon schools does, in
my view, prove my FOIA back in Sept 2012 was far from vexatious.

For your information, action and files

With thanks

Yours etc

Alan M Dransfield.

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

Dear Mr Bradshaw

Please see the ICO article and I draw your attention to Christopher Graham’s recent ref “SAVING TO THE PUBLIC PURSE”.

My response to that is hogwash. If the ICO is so concerned about the public purse costs, why the hell is he spending thousands of pounds fighting the Dransfield FOI cases?

He also goes on to state: “the need to shine the light of transparency in the deepest corners” or some other twaddle.

As far as I am concerned there is no transparency, accountability or security (TAS) at the ICO as they were switched off by the Wikely Vexatious Decision ref GIA/3037/2011 Dransfield v ICO.

As reported earlier to your office, the ICO is in meltdown and are in the Last Chance Saloon. Ditto for the DCC and the FOIA 2000.

In a nutshell, Mr Bradshaw, if I lose my Court of Appeal case public authorities nationwide will hand down vexatious decisions on a whim, which in essence are GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARDS and Joe Public will be gagged forever. On the other hand if I win my Court of Appeal Case, I will become the saviour of the FOIA 2000. Obviously I prefer the latter to happen. Maybe you can recommend me for a Knighthood.

Where have you been whilst all these shannagins have been going on? Surely not sleeping on the job again.

New bulbs for transparency for your office.

For your information, action and files

Dear Mr Bradshaw

You will recall that I wrote to you on this subject 6 months ago and you chose to ignore my allegations.

Please see the following article from a devout Information Commissioner’s Office fan, Mr Timothy Turner, who now accuses the ICO of wrongdoing.

Of course, the ICO are perverting the course of justice via section 77 of the FOIA 2000 and a simple ocular inspection of the ICO vexatious decisions passed down on a whim since Jan 13 is proof of the pudding.

Are those cracks appearing in the dam? You might have to stick your finger in there Mr Bradshaw.

What’s that noise I hear, chickens coming home to roost.

Yours setc

Could you please write to the Devon County Council and ask them for an update on this matter.

I would like to put in a FOIA request to the DCC asking them for the total cost of this white elephant, but it would surely be refused under vexatious exemptions.

Dear Mr Bradshaw

As you are aware, there is/was a serious design/safety issue with the type of glass used in the 6 PFI schools in Exeter.

Would you please write to the DCC asking them for a status update please.

There is no point in me asking via the FOIA 2000 as they would surely use their vexatious trump card.

Yours etc
