Dear Ministry of Defence,

I wish to know the following as an FOI request.

Who within the MOD, by job title, authorised payments to Phil Shiner/PIL or Abu Jamal?

Yours faithfully,

Robert Campbell

Dear Ministry of Defence,

You are required by law to respond to my FOI request, and you have not done so within a reasonable time.

Please provide me with the information I have requested regarding the Iraq Historical Allegations Team.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Campbell

 

Please see attached FOI response.

 

Dear DJEP-TOresponses (MULTIUSER),

Thank you for your response: For the record I am not acting as part of a campaign, I am asking these questions for personal reasons, as I suspect you already know.

I can ask all of my questions in a single request if that is simpler. I am perplexed that some of the questions you are declining appear to be the simpler ones: What is Mr Warwick's contractual and employment arrangements, and has Younis Mazin ever been paid by public funds? Surely these answers are easily discoverable by yourselves without incurring any undue costs? Similarly a simple yes or no answer can be applied to whether Leigh Day have been paid from public funds? The questions regarding the APC are also quite easy for Disclosures 2 to discover, and are legitimate concerns as such disclosures appear to violate the Armed Forces Covenant, Values and Standards of the British Army and the Army Leadership Code. Indeed the Parliamentary Disclosures section at APC described my disclosure as 'routine', therefore suggesting that they have good and easily accessible records of these disclosures which can be accessed without undue cost or time.

I will be happy to accept any answers you are willing to release, namely 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10. Any advice on gaining the other information that I am seeking would be gratefully received, but all of my questions are reasonable inquiries into the use of public funds and the legitimacy of investigations.

Being obstructive will not help you.

I would also like to request an internal review.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Campbell
