Rochdale 3 etc.

The request was refused by Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

Dear Greater Manchester Combined Authority,

BACKGROUND
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/politics/1...

Now the Home Secretary and local MP Chris Clarkson have questioned why Sexual Harm Prevention Orders – which can ban individuals from an area to stop them from running into their victims. Ms Patel wrote to the mayor last year, but claims to have never received a response on that issue. Sources close to Mr Burnham said they did respond and accused the Home Secretary of politicising the victims of these horrendous crimes.

REQUEST
Disclose the letter(s) from Priti Patel and Mayor's reply(s) regarding Adil Khan and Qari Abdul Rauf.

Yours faithfully,

Edward Williams

Greater Manchester Combined Authority

Dear Greater Manchester Combined Authority,

There is a legitimate interest in knowing why foreign paedophile have not been deported. Why is Burnham trying to keep things a secret?

You have also failed to say if you hold the information or not.

Yours sincerely,

Edward Williams

Greater Manchester Combined Authority

Dear Edward Williams,
 
Thank you for your email, your comments have been noted.
 
I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by Greater
Manchester Combined Authority which has initiated the requirement to
conduct a public interest test. This is a balancing exercise to assess
where the public interest lies and will determine whether GMCA should
release the information or maintain the exemption and withhold the
information.
 
We will be in touch with you further in due course.
Kindest Regards,

Zach White
Information Governance Officer
Greater Manchester Combined Authority

Please note that I only work Tuesday & Thursday

I am writing to request an internal review of Greater Manchester Combined Authority's handling of my FOI request 'Rochdale 3 etc.'.

I would like to vary the request to cover the extra information mentioned in your response -

"The Mayor, Deputy Mayor, a local MP and the Home Secretary have exchanged a
series of letters regarding delays to the planned deportation of offenders convicted of
CSE offences in Rochdale following media reports about victims meeting their abusers
in local shops"

to include the Deputy Mayor and the MP.

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