LOL Jan. You know it is a common fact that as long as all the correct letters are in a word, and the start and end character of said word is correct over 90% of people cannot notice typo's.
Excellent proof reading.
TBF: I'd of expected the HO would invest some time into creating some templates, utilising the MS Word feature of "Fields" ETC - this would help ease the burden on their resources significantly. Goes to show how lacking the Home Office are in utilising all of the available software they have - which is disapointing considering the money they spend on it.....
Dear Ms Perkis,
Please find attached a letter concerning your FOI request.
Kind regards

Dear Information Access,
Yes I am talking about the Complaints Hub of the UKVI.
(apologies if I got the name incorrect, you have changed the name so often in the past few years, its hard to keep up)
If a member of the public makes a complaint about an employee of the UKVI, be it at Lunar House, UK Border Force, or anywhere within the organisation which was formerly known as the UK Border Agency, what are the procedures and guidelines put in place to deal with and further the complaint?
Do you have different procedures for different departments within the former UKBA?
I'm a little confused as to your own ambivalence regarding my question.
Whatever your organisation is called at the moment, I am sure that you have a 'complaints procedure manual' or guidance notes, on how to deal with complaints from the public? This would surely cover any complaint against any unit or department your organisation?
Please could you provide me with this?
If you have different procedures for dealing with different departments or units, then I would like them all. That is all the procedures and guidance notes on complaints against the UKVI.
Yours sincerely,
CA Purkis

Could this be a:
'We can't understand what you mean' response, ( ....sorry resposne) so we can attach new request numbers to each clarification that we force you to make ......because you just don't understand our internal system.
Then we can declare you, or this request, vexatious .....for asking too many annoying questions on the same topic - in which we really would not like to you a responsne.
It happened to me.. It could happen to you.

The same thing happened to BritCits a while ago Jan. They base my vexatiousness on the number of requests that I have made.
So very very realistic that this is the case here too.

Impossible to say at the moment.
Because it's the first 'clarification'.
We will have to wait and see if more 'clarifications' of a 'clarification' are demanded.
In my case it was not understanding what a 'senior or executive officer' was.
Personally, I think if you cannot reference that....you shouldn't be in the business of answering FoI requests.

You would think,that the Home office know how to spell (a full reposnse) response.
Perhaps they don't like the word.
