Dear Mr Aleck
Freedom of Information request (our ref. 12555): internal review
Thank you for your e-mails of 06 September 2009 and 29 October, in which you asked for an
internal review of our response to your Freedom of Information (FoI) request about the Entry
Clearance Guidance, section EUN2.15.
I have now completed the review. I have examined al the relevant papers and have consulted
the policy unit which provided the original response. I have considered whether the correct
procedures were followed. I confirm that I was not involved in the initial handling of your
request.
My findings are set out in the attached report. My main conclusion is that the original
response was correct, although we were at fault in not replying within the time limit.
I am happy to talk to you about our conclusions if you wish to contact me at the telephone
number given above.
This completes the internal review process by the Home Office. If you remain dissatisfied
with the response to your FoI request, you have the right of complaint to the Information
Commissioner at the following address:
The Information Commissioner

Yours sincerely
