I would like copies of all government/treasury documents containing
predictions as to the duration (and/or end) of the current
recession.

Yours faithfully,

Paul Perrin

Dear responses, FOI,

I am aware of the content of the pre-budget report - however it is
only a summary analysis, my request is for access to other
predictions that may have been made, considered and rejected etc.

I am not aware of this information having been published, so my
request still stands.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Perrin

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 Her Majesty's
Treasury's handling of my FOI request 'Treasury and Government
predictions on the duration of the current recession.'.

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

I asked for specific information and was referred to previously
published documents - I replied explaining that these documents did
not provide the information I requested and I explained why, and
repeated my request for the information I originally requested.

It has been some considerable time and I am yet to have a response.

I would further say that the original response contained what I can
only describe as a 'snotty' comment regarding the provision of
documents vs information. This comment appears entirely against the
purpose of the freedom of information act and had the response not
been entirely anonymous I would suggest that the individual who
made this comment may require further training regarding
transparency, openness and freedom of information.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Perrin
