Dear Food Standards Agency,
I am writing to make an open government request for all the
information to which I am entitled under the freedom of information
act.
In order to assist you with this request, I am outlining my query
as specifically as possible.If however this request is too wide or
too unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I
understand that under the
act, you are required to advise and assist requesters.
I am seeking final minutes of the CHaIRS group meeting 7 to which
you have previously supplied me with draft notes given the FSA
provide secretarial support as a member of the Chemical Hazards and
Identification Risk
Surveillance group.
I am seeking the draft note of the 8th meeting schedueled to have
taken place in March, and also dates for future meetings of the
group for the coming year.
I am particularly interested in whether the minutes contain
reference to "The Rhodia incident" white phosphorus poisoning of
wildfowl at Rattlechain Mere(lagoon) referred to in previous CHaIRS
meetings confirming that white phosphorus release is occurring from
the site.
Could you also advise me of how members of the public can approach
The CHaIRS group in relation to presenting information which the
individual members may not be aware of, or if members of the public
are allowed to attend these meetings?
I understand that under the act, I should be entitled to a response
within 20 working days. I would be grateful if you could confirm
that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from
you in the near future.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Carroll
