Dear Mr Edmunds
Complaint against Portsmouth City Council
Ms Vereena Jones wrote to you on 4 April to say we are not treating Annex B
of your letter of 13 March 2008 as a Freedom of Information request. She
explained why she had taken
that view.
You have since written to Mr Miles on 5 April and to Ms Jones on 6 April.
You then sent a
recorded delivery letter to Ms Jones dated 6 April. Mr White wrote to you on
23 April
discontinuing the investigation of your complaint.
Your most recent email of 25 April to Mr Miles has been passed to Mr White
who has
asked me to reply.
In respect of your Freedom of Information requests, I refer you to Ms
Vereena Jones' letter
to you dated 4 April. I do not accept that your requests for explanations
are requests for information which we can or should supply under the Freedom
of Information Act. If you
are dissatisfied with this response you may contact the Information
Commissioner at www.ico.gov.uk or at his postal address which is:
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Ombudsman has no further comments to make on
your
complaint against Portsmouth City Council following his letter of 23 April.
Any further
correspondence from you on this matter will be considered carefully but
unless it raises
new and pertinent information, it will be filed without acknowledgement.
Yours sincerely
Neville Jones
Deputy Ombudsman
