AR3 correspondence

Andrew Montford made this Freedom of Information request to Meteorological Office

Meteorological Office did not have the information requested.

From: Andrew Montford

16 December 2011

Dear Meteorological Office,

I refer you to the Information Commissioner's recent advice that
information held on private email accounts is subject to freedom of
information legislation.

I am interested in correspondence relating to the IPCC's Third
Assessment Report WGI (AR3). I believe that Sir John Houghton used
a private email account to handle his work on this report. I would
like copies of Sir John's correspondence related to AR3 with any of
the following people:

Mike Hulme
Bob Watson
David Warrilow
Lord May

I would also like:

i) any correspondence relating to the paleoclimate chapter of AR3
and/or paleoclimate reconstructions in general
ii) any correspondence relating to the summary for policymakers of
AR3.

Since this request relates to environmental information I believe
it should be handled under the Environmental Information
Regulations.

I have copied this message to Sir John Houghton.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Montford

Dear FOImanager,

Thanks for your reply. I believe that it is necessary for you
and/or Sir John to help me with my inquiry. Would it therefore be
possible for you to establish from Sir John if the correspondence
is held elsewhere or if they have been destroyed.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Montford
