Dear Mr Ingram,
Thank you for your request dated 01/06/09. This falls to be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I have listed your question below for reference.
Can you email me details of each information request that has been refused by this letter and
details of each successful information request made by Cassidy, J to the UK Border Agency.
It is the general policy of UKBA not to disclose, to a third party, personal information about another person. This is because UKBA has obligations under the Data Protection Act and in law generally to protect this information. Your request for personal information has been considered in line with UKBA's obligations under the Freedom of Information Act. However, it has been concluded that the information you have requested is exempt under Section 40(3) of that Act. Section 40(3) of the Freedom of Information Act states that this disclosure would breach the Data Protection principles and therefore we cannot supply the information you have requested.
If you are dissatisfied with this response, you may request an independent internal review of our handling of your request. Internal review requests should be submitted within two months of UKBA sending a substantive reply to your original request and should be addressed to:
UK Border Agency
Central Freedom of Information Team
11th Floor
Lunar House, Short Corridor
40 Wellesley Road
Croydon
CR9 2BY
During the independent review the department's handling of your information request will be reassessed by staff who were not involved in providing you with this response. Should you remain dissatisfied after this internal review, you will have a right of complaint to the Information Commissioner as established by section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Feakins,
Freedom of Information Team,
Resource Management Group
