chief executive

Dear Sir or Madam,

In a letter of about 28 October Nigel Karney, Deputy Chief
Executive and Secretary to the CLAE identified that he had been
authorised by Department of communities and Local government
['DCLG'] to apply a public interest test to an FoI request please
provide a copy of his authorisation.

Please additionally identify if KARNEY is employed by the CLAE or
DCLG. It is my understanding that the CLAE is independent of
government, and is responsible for its own decisions. Please
confirm if my understanding is correct.

Further please identify by name, and organisational affiliation all
members of the CLAE by year since 1989 when the CLAE was able to
appoint additional members if the Local Commissioners so chose.

Yours faithfully,

Stuart Hardwicke Carruthers

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under Information Commissioner Notice FS50086128 related to a claim
of a s36 exemption by the Cabinet Office.. the qualified person for
the internal review was identified as having to be a Minister.

As KARNEY claims he is acting under the authorisation of the
Department of Communities and Local Government please provide
copies of all correspondence with the Minister related to the claim
for internal review...

Please additionally provide copies of all correspondence with the
LGO's related to this issue - particularly related to what appears
to be identification that they are not independent and have been
identified as not being independent by a member of their senior
staff.

Yours sincerely,

Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS
