Your right to complain to DfT and the Information Commissioner 
 
You have the right to complain within two calendar months of the date of this letter about 
the way in which your request for information was handled and/or about the decision not 
to disclose all or part of the information requested. In addition a complaint can be made 
that DfT has not complied with its FOI publication scheme. 
 
Your complaint will be acknowledged and you will be advised of a target date by which to 
expect a response. Initially your complaint will be re-considered by the official who dealt 
with your request for information. If, after careful consideration, that official decides that 
his/her decision was correct, your complaint will automatically be referred to a senior 
independent official who will conduct a further review. You will be advised of the outcome 
of your complaint and if a decision is taken to disclose information originally withheld this 
will be done as soon as possible.  
 
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:
