Geoffrey Dickens/ Leon Britton dossiers on child abuse

The request was refused by Home Office.

Dear Home Office,

Please could you provide the dossiers on child sexual abuse that Geoffrey Dickens handed to Leon Brittan.

November 1983 Dossier apparently contained information about Paedophile Information Exchange and Buckingham Palace Staff.

The January 1984 dossier apparently contained information about sexual assaults at a children's home and named prominent paedophiles including a television executive.

These are very serious and concerning matters and the dossiers obviously of high importance. They should have been kept secure for the future by Mr Leon Brittan.

A redacted copy of each will suffice.

Yours faithfully,

Cathy Fox

Dear FOI Requests,

A substantive reply to my request is now way overdue, and I believe the Home Office is now in contravention of the Law.
Please could I receive a substantive reply to my question within 48 hours or I will have no option but to further legal remedies.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Home Office,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Home Office's handling of my FOI request 'Geoffrey Dickens/ Leon Britton dossiers on child abuse'.

I have had no substantive response. I have merely had 2 acknowledgements, probably automated.

This means I believe that the Home Office is breaking the law.

It is disgusting that the Home Office has contempt for the law like this and sets the example that others can break the law. You should be ashamed, it seems that the Home Office act as though the law does not apply to them and the law only applies to ordinary people.

I await the information by return and the result of the Internal Review in due course

Maybe the reason the Home Office is withholding this information and stalling is that it is in collusion here and knows that paedophiles are in government the home offce and everywhere and that we may never get the dossier that the claimant cathy fox requests it stinks to high heaven of the sick state we are forced to live under the freedom of information act is a joke when the home office takes no notice and delays like this and the outcome inforamtion refused on whats not good for the public i bet !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear L Ingram,
Thank you for your reply.
I note that although you apologise for the delay , you have not given a reason for the lack of response.
Please could you reply as to why the Home Office contravened the law and failed to respond within the required time.
Please could you detail when the independent internal investigation was commissioned and who commissioned it.
Please could you state who is carrying out this investigation.
Please could you explain what you mean by an "independent" investigation.
Please could state when this investigation is expected to report and to whom.

Yours sincerely,

Dear L Ingram, FOI Responses,

You stated in your reply of 27 June that I would receive a reply within 4 weeks, I have not.

I remind you that your reply of 27th June was a holding reply to an Internal Review request of 11June which should have been answered by 2nd July.
The Internal review request was because I had received no substantive response to my original request on 19th April despite holding replies on 19th April stating I would get a response by 10th May, a reminder from me on 5th June stimulated an immediate response that I would get a reply by 3rd July.

Furthermore on 27th June I asked you these questions to which I have received no reply.

Dear L Ingram,
Thank you for your reply.
I note that although you apologise for the delay , you have not given a reason for the lack of response.
Please could you reply as to why the Home Office contravened the law and failed to respond within the required time.
Please could you detail when the independent internal investigation was commissioned and who commissioned it.
Please could you state who is carrying out this investigation.
Please could you explain what you mean by an "independent" investigation.
Please could state when this investigation is expected to report and to whom.

A reasonable individual may draw the conclusion that the Home Office is not fit for purpose, lies and is covering up child sexual abuse? Unless I receive a full reply to all my questions many will assume this is the case. They may also speculate from a variety of evidence around that the political parties are also involved in this cover up of child sexual abuse and hence the lack of action by Government.

I await your full response to my questions, my internal review and my reasonable individual conclusions.

I personally find the Home Offices actions outrageous and despicable and by its actions it condones child sexual abuse.

However the Home Office is made up of individuals, and as such you (L Ingram) must take your share of responsibility for your non replies, as must L.Galarza who was due to carry out the Internal Review. As well all the other unnamed people involved, including the Home Secretary Rt Honourable Theresa May,and the Prime Minister David Cameron must take their share of responsibility for this despicable state of affairs that undermines any semblance of truly democratic government.
Shame on you all. Is it not reasonable to assume that you are just puppets of the paedophiles who are really in control and no one has the courage to stand up to them?

A copy of my original freedom of information request is as follows:

"Please could you provide the dossiers on child sexual abuse that Geoffrey Dickens handed to Leon Brittan.

November 1983 Dossier apparently contained information about Paedophile Information Exchange and Buckingham Palace Staff.

The January 1984 dossier apparently contained information about sexual assaults at a children's home and named prominent paedophiles including a television executive.

These are very serious and concerning matters and the dossiers obviously of high importance. They should have been kept secure for the future by Mr Leon Brittan.

A redacted copy of each will suffice."

Yours sincerely,

Cathy Fox
