Conservative Party Autumn Conference 2011

Dear Zoe,

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by Greater Manchester Police today.  Your request will now be considered
in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act). You will
receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as
defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or
containing a reference to a third party.

In some circumstances Greater Manchester Police may be unable to achieve
this deadline.  If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request.  If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you choose not to make payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.
Should you have any further inquiries concerning this matter, please write
or contact The Information Access Team, on any of the following telephone
numbers 0161 856 2529.

Kind regards

Caroline Barker

     Dear Greater Manchester Police,
   
    For the security vetting/accreditation procedure carried out for
    the Conservative Party Autumn Conference 2011, please can you
    supply:
   
    1) A copy of any equalities impact assessment carried out in
    relation either to the vetting procedure or overall policing.
   
    2) A copy of procedures put in place for handling vetting for any
    minorities groups that might have been adversely affected by the
    process, if any.
   
    The total number of people who:
    3) Applied to be accredited...
   
    4) ...and were then approved.
   
    5) ...and were then rejected...
    a) ...but the party permitted entry anyway.
    b) ...but the party did not permit entry.
   
    6) ...but did not complete the process...
    a) ...because the police did not complete the process in time.
    b) ...because the individual did not complete the process. (e.g.
    documents still pending by conference date, or they explicitly
    withdrew)
   
    For each of the above, please break down if possible the number of
    people who applied by category, e.g. Members/Party Staff, Media,
    Exhibitors etc.
   
    7) The estimated cost of the vetting process.
