Communication with Mr. David Hagendyk

The request was refused by Welsh Government.

Dear Welsh Government,

In light of the Information Commissioner’s determination contained within his Decision Notice of 1 March 2012 that Government and Special Adviser communication using private / personal electronic accounts, is captured by the Freedom of Information Act and therefore deemed to be Government business, I wish to make the following request:

Please provide copies of all correspondence (both sent and received) exchanged between the First Minister and/or Special Advisers and Mr. David Hagendyk since 1 September 2017, via the following methods of communication:

a) all private, personal and Welsh Government email accounts (these will include Hotmail, Gmail etc);
b) SMS texts via all personal and Welsh Government mobile phones and other devices (including laptops and tablets); and
c) Messages sent and received via all personal and Welsh Government mobile phones and other devices (including laptops and tablets) using encrypted messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram.

Please provide all the requested information listed and clearly marked to the corresponding name of the First Minister and/or Special Adviser concerned.

Yours faithfully,

Louise Brown

Welsh Government

Dear Welsh Government,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Welsh Government's handling of my FOI request 'Communication with Mr. David Hagendyk'.

This request is to enable you to re-consider. When conducting your review, I specifically request you treat the review on its own merits and do not 'lump' your response in with any other reply.

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

Yours faithfully,

Louise Brown

Welsh Government
