Dear Mr John,

Re: Request under the 2000 Freedom of Information Act

Thank you for your email enquiry of 9^th March in response to a reply you received on 8^th March under FOI reference 62854. You asked for the following information from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ):

The names of those who were cautioned for the RIPA s.1(1) offences in 2008?

Your request has been handled under the Freedom of information Act 2000 (FOIA). I can confirm that the Department does not hold the information you are seeking.

Cautions data held by the Ministry of Justice do not include the name of the person cautioned. Such information will be held by the individual police forces in England and Wales.

As the police forces in England and Wales come within the remit of the Home Office you may wish to contact the Home Office at the following address:

[email address]

Please mark your correspondence FOIA.

If you are unhappy with the result of your request for information, you may request an internal review within two calendar months of the date of this letter by writing to:

Data Access and Compliance Unit,

Information Directorate,

Ministry of Justice,

6th Floor, Zone B,

102 Petty France,

London

SW1H 9AJ.

e-mail: [email address]

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:

Information Commissioner's Office,

Wycliffe House,

Water Lane,

Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
