Dear Her Majesty's Treasury,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Her Majesty's Treasury's handling of my FOI request 'FOI - Use of Migrant Workers on IT Projects'.

[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]

For the last ten years I have witnessed the systematic destruction of UK livelihoods in the IT industry with the unregulated abuse of Tier2 visas and now you have removed the cap post Brexit you will reap untold damage on the working UK population - in particular in the north of England.

I know that you do hold the information I requested but would suggest that providing that information would be both politically embarrassing and would incriminate the civil service.

This is a breach of FOI regulations to fail to supply this information. I would also suggest that it is unlawful not to hold this information

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

Yours faithfully,

John Dunning
