Dear Mr Baker

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by this office on May 29, 2009. I understand you are requesting the
following information:

As you have probably recently seen in the media there has been alot of
speculation over certain members of parliament and their fraudulent
expenses. now what i would like to know is:
a)why have they not been arrested for fraud theft and deception?
b)certain members preventing this information from being released into
public knowledge which is classed as obstruction of justice.
c)equality before the law states that everyone shall be treated the same
no matter whom they are! if i was to fiddle my taxes i would surely face
imprisonment!why has this not occurred with the members of parliament? why
would the police need to even think about arresting the certain members of
parliament when there is substantial evidence proving that they without a
doubt have committed a crime here?
As you may of noticed recently there has been quite abit of tension
between the public and the police do you not think that doing the job you
were sworn into office to do would take some of the public tension away
and a little reassurance back to the people by proving your prepared to do
your job effectively and efficiently? as far as i cant tell there has been
a mass dereliction of duty amongst the whole police force to act upon
these crimes can you please explain as to why the certain members of
parliament havnt been arrested handcuffed and interviewed and tried in a
court of law?

I regret to inform you that your request is not a valid request for
information under Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. This
is because your request is not asking for written information which is
held by Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, it asks questions and for
opinions.

Under the Freedom of Information Act you can request any information,
documentation or records that are held, in some physical form, by the
public authority.
For instance if you asked for a policy or information that may be
contained in a policy we would consider these questions a valid request.

If you would like to reword your request so that it becomes a valid
Freedom of Information Request then you are welcome to do so. If you would
like any advice or assistance on how to do this then please contact one of
the Freedom of Information Department members and they will be happy to
assist you.

Should you have any further inquiries concerning this matter, please
contact me quoting my reference number as above.

Yours sincerely

Georgie

Dear Mr Baker,

I write in connection with your request for information, which was
received on May 26, 2009 requesting the following information:

could you please supply me with the internal policy regarding non
registered and non licensed vehicles

Unfortunately I am unable to progress with your request at this time. To
enable us to meet your request please could you provide this office with
further information, such as can you please clarify what it is you mean by
'non registered and non licensed vehicles'. Unregistered, in law that
means a car which has no registration mark allocated to it by DVLA and
unlicensed, that effectively means a vehicle not having an excise licence.
If these are the definitions you agree with please let me know.

After receiving your reply, your request will then be considered and you
will receive the information requested within the statutory 20 working
days as defined under the Act, subject to the provisions of that Act.

However, if the requested information has not been received by August 21,
2009 I will assume you will no longer wish to proceed with this request
and it will be treated as withdrawn.

Should you have any further inquiries concerning this matter, please
contact me quoting my reference number as above.

Yours sincerely,

Georgie

Mr Baker,

Apologies for the mistake. We sometimes find that we mix up the corresponding email addresses, as each one is different that is sent from Whatdotheyknow.com, but the requester is often the same. I will resend the below email to the correct email address.
