Dear Mr P. John,

SUBJECT: Freedom of Information Request

Thank you for your correspondence of April 16, 2010, in which you asked
for cautions issued for RIPA s1 Offences by Police Force under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) from the Ministry of Justice
(MoJ).

You will receive a response from us by May 18, 2010. Your request has
been passed to the appropriate business unit within the MoJ, and they
will write to you with their decision by this date.

The FOIA does provide a number of exemptions. A qualified exemption
requires that before relying on it we must consider the public interest
test. If the information you have requested is covered by a qualified
exemption(s) under FOIA, the Department is allowed to take longer than
20 working days to respond. This is because in such circumstances we are
required to consider the public interest issues when deciding whether or
not to disclose the information requested.

If more time is needed to consider the public interest issues under a
qualified exemption(s), we will write to you and inform you of the
revised date you can expect to receive a response to your request.

If you have any queries regarding this request please do not hesitate to
contact us. Please quote ref: FOI/64704/10 in all future correspondence.

Yours sincerely,

James Noble

Our Ref: 64851

Dear Mr John,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoIA)

Thank you for your e-mail of 24 April in which you requested that we
carry out an internal review of our handling of your request for the names
of offenders cautioned under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act
2000 (RIPA) in 2008.

Your request has been passed to me to consider as I carry out reviews of
previous FoIA decisions on behalf of the department . I have now
completed my review and would like to begin by stating that I will be
upholding our previous decision that we do not hold the information you
requested for the following reasons.

In our response of 25 March we explained that the Ministry of Justice did
not hold this information as we only hold statistical data on the number
of people cautioned under RIPA, and advised that such information will be
held by individual police forces in England and Wales. We went on to
advise that since the police forces in England and Wales come within the
remit of the Home Office you may wish to contact them directly and
provided the attached link to their e-mail address:

[1][email address]

I can confirm that individual police forces provide the Ministry of
Justice with statistical data on the number of people cautioned under RIPA
but this does not include the offender's name. I understand that we have
already provided you with the statistical data we hold on the number
of offenders cautioned under RIPA for 2008.

I am therefore satisfied we do not hold the names of offenders who were
cautioned under RIPA s.1(1) offences in 2008. I would advise that you
make a request to individual police forces in England and Wales for this
information.

I trust that this answers your query but if you are not satisfied with
this response you have a further right to ask the Information Commissioner
to review this decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at
the following address:

Water Lane

I hope that you find this response useful.
