Dear Mr Davis,

Freedom of Information Request

Thank you for your email received by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on 18^th August 2009, in which you requested the following:

The information you have been ordered to disclose as a result of the recent rulings by the Information Commissioner relating to prisoner labour contracts (Case Ref: FS50178268 and Case Ref: FS50161805).

Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

The responses that were released for the above cases following the rulings by the Information Commissioner can be found in the attachments provided.

I hope you find this information helpful.

As part of our obligations under the FOIA, the Ministry of Justice has an independent review process. If you are dissatisfied with this decision, you may write to request an internal review. The internal review will be carried out by someone who did not make the original decision, and they will re-assess how the Department handled the original request.

If you wish to request an internal review, please write or send an email to the Data Access and Compliance Unit within two months of the date of this letter, at the following address:
