Dear Dave,

No offence taken at all. The number of times I get confused with a
certain futures trader means I'm immune. :-)

Yours sincerely,

Nick Leaton

Dear University of East Anglia,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of University of East
Anglia's handling of my FOI request 'CRU confidentiality
agreements'.

To say the data is available, and then state that the site on which
it can be found is not online is more than a farce. It's an out and
out failure to supply the information.

As such I would like a internal review for the failure to release
the document to me. In addition I would like an investigation as to
the deliberate withholding of the information.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/cr...

Yours faithfully,

Nick Leaton
