BNP membership list.

Waiting for an internal review by Leicestershire Constabulary of their handling of this request.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

In November 2008 the membership list of the British National Party (BNP) was published online. On September 1, 2009 a disgruntled former official Matt Single was convicted in relation to this for offences under the Data Protection Act.

I refer to Schedule 1 of The Data Protection Principles.

Under Schedule 1, any use of 'sensitive personal data' must be processed
only when at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 is met, and at
least one of the conditions in Schedule 3 is also met.

1. Please tell me if the Leicestershire Constabulary has processed any data relating to the leaked British National Party membership list.

2. Please tell me which of the conditions in Schedule 2 and Schedule 3
were met when processing sensitive personal data?

3. Has sensitive personal data been used for any purposes other than
comparing against the Leicestershire Constabulary Police personnel database?

4. Who was responsible for the decision to compare sensitive personnel
data against Leicestershire Constabulary Police's personnel data?

5. What were the grounds for such a decision?

6. I request the minutes of any meeting held to come to such a decision.

7. Please describe the process used in making such a decision and
whether the consequences of this decision, if any, were assessed.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Walker

Dear Sir

I am writing to request an internal review of Leicestershire Constabulary's handling of my FOI request submitted on 5th Oct 2009. The statutory 20 working days has now passed. The normal 20 working day
limit can be extended under section 10(3) if a qualified exemption is engaged and additional time is required to consider the public interest. In order to extend the deadline in accordance with section 10(3) the authority must inform the applicant of this fact
within the 20 working day deadline and provide him/her with a revised response deadline “that is reasonable in the circumstances”. I have not been informed of the need for any extension and my complaint has not been answered.

I believe that section 10(1) of the FOI Act has been breached,
given that no letter was sent extending the deadline under Section
10(3).

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
