Dear Mr Sullivan,
SUBJECT: Freedom of Information Request
Thank you for your correspondence of April 1, 2010, in which you asked
for governor changes at British prisons under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000 (FOIA) from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
You will receive a response from us by April 29, 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/64517/10 in all future correspondence.
Yours sincerely,
James Noble

Dear HR Directorate [NOMS],
Thank you for your responseto my FoIA request. I appreciate that
you cannot give reasons for departure; I forgot, when applying that
the actual governors could be identified. What I was attempting to
find out was how many of the departing governors were actually
retiring and how many were part of a governor 'churn' - ie moving
on to another prison.
Yours sincerely,
Paul W Sullivan
