Universities that must co-operate with Special Branch Officers

Dear Home Office,

the Minister of State for Higher Education and Intellectual
Property (David Lammy) has made a statement to the BBC's Radio 4 on
the fact that certain universities will be required to work closely
with Special Branch and other police officers to prevent Islamic
extremism.
Mr Lammy declined to provide a list of the universities thus
targeted. (Source:

I should ask you, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, to
release the list of universities targeted by this new scheme. I
assume that it is also held by the Home Office, most probably in
any department dealing with counter-terrorism.

I expect you to send me an acknowledgement of this request and a
response after 20 working days at the latest.

I shall send identical requests to the Department of Business,
Innovation and Skills and the Metropolitan Police Service.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Bimmler

Dear Home Office,

may I ask for an acknowledgement of my request?

Yours faithfully,

Michael Bimmler

Dear Home Office,

I believe your response was due by March 4. Please reply as soon as
possible.

Yours faithfully,

M Bimmler

Dear Home Office,

your response is now significantly late. I must ask for an internal
review into your failure to reply by the 20th working day after the
request was received.

Yours faithfully,

M Bimmler

Dear Information Access,

Thank you for your email. I can confirm that I have never received
the response you enclosed, so I must assume a technical issue. I
shall flag this request accordingly for consideration by the
whatdotheyknow.com team and suggest that the Home Office may also
want to get in touch with 'team (at) whatdotheyknow.com' to ensure
future problems can be avoided.

Yours sincerely,

M Bimmler
