Dear Sir or Madam,
Lord West of Spithead (Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Home
Office) has stated that the Home Office was asked by a number of
parties for a view on the compatibility of targeted advertising
services with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
How many parties requested this information about RIPA 2000 and
compatibility of targeted advertising prior to the writing of the
January document produced in answer to these questions? (published
here http://cryptome.org/ho-phorm.pdf)
When were the requests received?
How many of the parties making such requests are British Internet
Service Providers (ISPs) operating in the UK?
Other than Phorm, have any other non-ISPs made such requests prior
to the writing of the paper referenced above?
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr S Hankin

Thanks Michael - I've now fixed the file extension so it is .pdf. It was incorrectly .doc in the original email from the Home Office.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence

In order to view it, download it, manually change the file extension to ".pdf" (removing ".doc" from the filename) and open it with Adobe Reader.
Opening it with Microsoft Word or with the "view as html" option will *not* work.
