Dear Shazna Bibi,

Sorry Shazna, as your email system cannot seem to correctly handle
requests from "WhatDoTheyKnow.com" i don't know if you got my
previous email just now, so I'm directly replying to your own last
email to me on this site. Heres the content my last email which is
to be added to my request;

"Just as an aside to this, i would also like all iterations of this
report, not just the Final Report published in September 2010."

Dear Shazna Bibi,

Again it seems that you constantly ignore my requests and go over
the statutory time given by the terms of the Freedom Of Information
Act, without trying to contact me asking for more time, or asking
me to revise my request or any other contact apart from the
acknowledgment.

By the terms of the Act I have to remind you again that you are
breaking statutory law by not responding, why would you hold a
blatant disregard for the law in this way?

I expect nothing other than a full response without restrictions as
asked for within my original request.

Yours sincerely,

Muhammed Iqbal

Dear Shazna Bibi,

Why are you ignoring my request, by law you should have responded
within 20 working days. If you fail this and also fail to reply
asking for more time, ask me to clarify my request or any other
form of response within the 20 working day time frame, you are now
breaching a law laid down by statute.

By law you must now respond in full, without any restriction to my
request, you effectively lost the right to place restrictions by
ignoring my simple request. It seems like the council does not want
this tax-payer funded document and all of its iterations and
revisions to be revealed to the public. Why is this?

Yours sincerely,

Muhammed Iqbal

Dear Shazna Bibi,

This response should have been responded to by the 8th February
2011, its now the 18th February 2011. Shazna, you were still
responding to other requests up until the 14th February but decided
to ignore mine. Why is this?
Why do you keep ignoring me in this way?

Yours sincerely,

Dear Jane L Jones,

If you re-read my emails for this request, I fully requested all
iterations of this report. As its stamped "Final Report" then there
were obviously other's produced by Campbell Tickell.

Why are you not addressing this in the appropriate way? It seems
that Tower Hamlets council believes that as there is no real
punishment for non-compliance, that you don't have to really follow
the law. Why is this?

Yours sincerely,

Muhammed Iqbal

Dear Tim Rodgers,

So at the time of my request, you state that they did not hold
previous copies of the report, but do they now? or have they ever
held them since?

If they have at any time since, then when exactly did they hold
them?

If they have never held them then who does? And did you pay for
these? And why was this called the final report?

Yours sincerely,

Muhammed Iqbal

Dear Mr Iqbal,

The Council or Tower Hamlets Homes do not hold any other versions of the report. I understand there was a progress meeting to discuss the report during its authoring. The report itself was procured - there was no payment for 'interim' versions.

I trust our position is clear.

Hugh Barnard left an annotation (18 March 2011)

Since [according to the cabinet, that august body] there was a 'consultant' from Tickell Campbell in place for about three years, this report was a great deal more expensive and labour intensive than the £4000 odd [on the second attempt] that I've been quoted. Perhaps an audit of PC disks will reveal further iterations?
