Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to know how many times the Information Commissioner
has exercised their power under s76 of the Freedom of Information
Act and made disclosure to each of the following for each of the
last three years:

Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration; The Health Service
Commissioner for England; A Local Commissioner (Local Government
Ombudsman for England) (REDMOND); A Local Commissioner (Local
Government Ombudsman for England) (SEEX); A Local Commissioner
(Local Government Ombudsman for England) (WHITE);

I would further like to know how many times the Information
Commissioner identified that a public body falling under the
jurisdiction of one of the above had breached the Freedom of
Information Act and broken the law for each of the last three
years.

I would further like to know on how many occassions the above
entities have informed the Information Commissioner of breaches of
the FoI Act by organisations that fall under their jurisdiction and
invited the Information Commissioner to take action for each of the
last three years.

I would finally request copies of any correspondence between the
Information Commissioner and any of the local commissioners or the
Commission for Local Administration in England seeking a common
understanding if a council breaking the law under FoI is an act of
maladministration causing injustice, and any draft memoranda of
understanding between the Information Commissioner and the various
Ombudsmen.

Yours faithfully,

Stuart HARDWICKE CARRUTHERS
