Dear Mr Hardwicke Carruthers

You have appealed against various recent decisions made by Ms Pook, Communications and Records Manager. My decisions are set out below. I apologise for my delay in considering some of these appeals.

Request 28563-9c851f71

Our reference CS/10/015/hjp

I endorse Ms Pook's decision of 9 March 2010 that this request is vexatious.

Request 23218-6e5bdbc2

Our reference CS/09/128/hjp

I endorse Ms Pook's decision of 14 December 2009 which was that some of the information you requested did not exist, other information is published by the Land Registry and the remainder would exceed the appropriate cost limit set out in the FOIA.

Request 23204-6ff0a17c

Our reference CS/09/127/hjp

I endorse Ms Pook's decision of 9 December 2009, that the information you requested was a repeat of a request refused, following an appeal, on 28 October 2008. You have complained to the ICO concerning that decision and I understand that your complaint is still under consideration.

Request 22581-5739325b

Our reference CS/09/118/hjp

I refer to Ms Pook's letter of 4 November 2009. Ms Pook fully responded to your request. I can confirm the information was correct. You made reference to other interests of Mr White, Mr Redmond and Ms Seex during the period. None of these activities and interests impinged on fulfilling their employment obligations as Local Commissioners.

That concludes my response. This completes the Commission's internal review process. You have the right to apply to the ICO to determine whether your requests have been property dealt with (www.ico.gov.uk).

Yours sincerely

Nigel Karney
