Dear Mr Sittampalam, 
Freedom of Information request (our ref. 12862): internal review 
 
Thank you for your e-mail of 5 February 2010, in which you asked for an 
internal review of our response to your Freedom of Information (FoI) request 
about the Attorney General Baroness Scotland of Asthal. 
 
I have now completed the review. I have examined all the relevant papers, 
including the information that was withheld from you, and have consulted the 
policy unit which provided the original response. I have considered whether 
the correct procedures were followed and assessed the reasons why 
information was withheld from you.  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, 
although we were at fault in not replying within the time limit, the original 
response was correct.  
 
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 
Wycliffe House 
Water Lane

Yours sincerely
