Dear Ms. Pottinger

As long as inclusion of databases of staff would not cause the
request to be refused when it would not otherwise do so, please
include all databases holding personal details about more than
10,000 people, whether general public or staff.

However, if including staff databases would cause the request to be
refused, then please restrict the request to information about the
general public.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Geraint Bevan

I am very interested in the outcome of your request, as I currently considering a complaint against the police regarding their actions following the suicide of my brother and their failure to contact his NOK prior to his cremation.

Dear Diana

Thank you for providing me with this list of databases from the
Information Asset Register. It is indeed of great interest and I
appreciate your diligence in keeping me informed about progress
while the reply was formulated.

Thank you also for letting me know about the imminent publication
of the releasable parts of IARs by the Home Office, UKBA, CRB and
IPS .

With very best regards
Geraint

This is missing a few fairly major ones, e.g. Immigration and Asylum Fingerprint System (owned by UKBA) and PNC/PND (owned by NPIA).
