Dear Mr Hardwicke Carruthers

Request for information

In your email of 14 November, you asked for the current versions of the Risk registers in unredacted form. I consider this to be a repeat request (Freedom of Information Act section 14(2)).

You have previously asked for risk registers which were provided in a redacted form. You appealed my decision, saying you wanted unredacted versions and this was refused by Mr Karney (our reference: CS/08/046, appeal refused 28 October 2008). That situation has not changed.

That concludes my response. If you feel I have not dealt properly with your request, you have the right to appeal and, should you wish to do so, I can supply a copy our internal complaints procedure. If you do request an internal review - can you please indicate why you are unhappy with my response. You also have the right to apply to the Information Commissioner to determine whether your request has been properly dealt with. You should note however that the Commissioner will not consider any complaint where you have not first exhausted our internal complaints process or where there has been undue delay in contacting him. You will be able to obtain further details of the Information Commissioner's role from the website on www.ico.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely

Hilary Pook
