Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide copies of all news items that the CLAE holds and has
published on its website prior to June 2008. On its previous
website the CLAE published news items for at least three years.
This information is required to ensure that there is not corporate
amnesia.

Yours faithfully,

Stuart Hardwicke Carruthers

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 Local Government
Ombudsmen's handling of my FOI request 'News Items'.

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

The request is for all news items. If these are to be added back
into the News section that is fine provided a firm date is
identified as to when this will be accomplished.

There might not be corporate amnesia by the CLAE. However, there is
a need for the CLAE's decisions to be accessible to others. There
was no warning of the CLAE's change in publication policy.

Yours sincerely,

Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS

Dear Sir or Madam,

For the ICO

Internal review completed on 10 February 2009

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/42...

The news items are not available. There is no identification of
when they will be made available, and the new web site lacks the
functionality of the old one

Yours sincerely,

Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS

They have asked me to send you the press releases (which include the text of news items that would have appeared on our old website) for all items of news that have not been replaced by summaries and full text of Ombudsman investigtion reports in the Complaint Outcomes section of our new website.

Dear Foi Officer,

many thanks.

However.. it is actually the Maladministration and Injustice
reports that were published in the news section that were being
sought. Please forward to meet the ICO's requirements.

Yours sincerely,
