Recruitment process for Identity Commissioner
Dear Sir or Madam,
On 14th September 2009 the Home Office announced that it had appointed an "Identity Commissioner" under the terms of the Identity Cards Act 2006.
Please tell me:
1. How much money was spent on recruitment consultants and advertising to find applicants for this post.
2. On how many dates advertisements for the post were published, and in which newspapers.
3. Apart from newspapers, what other advertising channels were used.
3. How many people completed applications for the post.
4. How many applicants for the post were interviewed.
Note that I am seeking information about the recruitment process, and not any information whatsoever about the individual applicants.
Yours faithfully,
Andrew Watson

Dear Home Office,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Home Office's handling of my FOI request 'Recruitment process for Identity Commissioner', reference 13416/09.
In my request, I asked "How many applicants for the post were interviewed". However, Nicola Westmore chose to answer a different question, and merely told me that "6 people were selected to be interviewed for the post". I did not ask how many people were "selected to be interviewed", I asked how many were actually interviewed. Please supply the answer to the question I asked.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,
