Dear Diana,
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request – 110304
Thank you for your request dated 16 February in which you asked for the following
information from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ):
Can you please supply statistics of how many staff members have been investigated
regarding conflict matters in the years since the inception of The Equality Act 2010.
Please supply details of the departments and heads of those departments that
investigate the issues involved with conflict matters and the statistics to prove
successful decline in the numbers investigated in the last two years.
I make this request as a matter of due process and of public interest to the whole
evolvement of such Acts and the necessary changes that result from them.
Your request is being handled under the FOIA.
I have considered your request for information but I am unable to answer it without further
clarification. Section 1(3) of the FOIA does not oblige us to answer requests where we
require further clarification to identify and locate the information requested.
So that I provide you with the right information, can you please explain exactly what you
mean by “conflict matters”? Can you please also confirm the scope of your question, for
example, are you interested in concerns raised by MoJ employees in the workplace or
concerns raised by members of the public in relation to their engagement with the
department?
On receipt of this information I will be able to continue to process your request.
Yours sincerely
MoJ HR Correspondence
