Dear P Foomer,

Re : Request under the 2000 Freedom of Information Act

Thank you for your e-mail dated [Date], in which you sought information relating to the following from the Ministry of Justice;

“Please provide dataset definitions utilised in inter-government departmental communications which uniquely identify a person or organisation.”

Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Unfortunately we have not been able to identify the subject of your query and so cannot at this time respond. If you could supply more information in particular the use of the term `dataset definitions' would seem that you have something specific in mind but we do not recognise this term.

If you are unhappy with the result of your request for information, you may request an internal review within two calendar months of the date of this letter by writing to : Data Access and Compliance Unit, Information Directorate, Ministry of Justice, 1st Floor, Zone C, 102 Petty France, London SW1H 9AJ.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF

Yours sincerely

John Walker

Data Access & Compliance Unit
