Criteria for allocating Same-day slots to Representative Organisations

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like request your criteria for determining how pre-approved
slots are allocated to immigration application representatives at
the Croydon Public Enquiries Office.

Given that companies with many more slots than others are given
quite a competitive advantage in the market, I am sure you have
procedures to ensure your decisions are not anti-competitive.

What guidelines do you use to ensure that representatives are
treated equally when it comes to pre-approved slots? What criteria
enables one company to obtain multiple slots on multiple days of
the week, and other companies only one slot a week?

Basically, what is the process and what are the rules you follow.

Yours faithfully,

Hayden Walton

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Home Office's
handling of my FOI request 'Criteria for allocating Same-day slots
to Representative Organisations'.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

I do not believe your response is adequate.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Freedom Of Information Team ( IND ),

An internal review was requested as the information that was
requested in the initial posting has not been provided. The
respondent has side-stepped the request completely.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Hussain Isra,

I have attached the original request below. Please note that this
request has been bounced around for almost 5 months now.

During this period I have collected data from my day-to-day
experiences at the PEO which suggest a relationship between ex-Home
Office caseworkers and the allocation of slots to the private
companies they join, and the request below will establish whether
or not there are satisfactory procedures in place to ensure
fairness.

Judging by the run-around I am getting, I suspect there is no
process to ensure fairness, and my data is accurate. Please review
the request below once again. I will forward the run-around emails,
your final response, and my report to my local Conservative MP
shortly.
