At which HMP will I find my MP ?

The request was refused by HM Prison Service.

Dear HM Prison Service,

The "honourable" Fiona Onasanya MP appears to be absent from her constituency.

How do I contact my elected representative during this time ?

Yours faithfully,

Mary Hinge

Disclosure Team, HM Prison Service

Thank you for your e-mail, I am writing to advise you that your enquiry does not fall under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) regime and has been rejected by the Disclosure Team.

It may be helpful if I explain that the FOIA gives individuals and organisations the right of access to all types of recorded information held, at the time the request is received, by public authorities such as the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). Section 84 of the FOIA states that in order for a request for information to be handled as a FOI request, it must be for recorded information.

For example, a FOI request would be for a copy of a policy, rather than an explanation as to why we have that policy in place. On occasion, the MoJ receives requests that do not ask for recorded information, but ask more general questions about, for example, a policy, opinion or a decision.

You may wish to re-submit your enquiry to the Ministry of Justice, which will be treated as Official Correspondence. Our contact details are as followed:

102 Petty France
London
SW1H 9AJ

Kind regards,

Disclosure Team
