Theresa May FOI correspondence

The request was refused by Home Office.

Dear Home Office,

On the 30th Aug 2013 I made request re information re "Go Home Vans".
Details you can find here:

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/g...

On the 17/12/2014, following ICO decision you finally released some information and appealed to the Information Tribunal re the rest of the information.

I would like to know the background of significant delays in your processes, reasons behind your reluctance to release the information and cost to the taxpayer.

Therefore, I request you to release:

- correspondence sent/received by Theresa May regarding my FOI request (as I understand, your reference is 28795)

- forecasted/estimated cost of appeal to the First Tier Tribunal

I trust this time I will receive the information requested within statutory 20 days.

Yours faithfully,

Marcin Musial

Dear Home Office,

Please start internal review of your refusal.

Please note that you failed to explain specific reasons why the information have been withheld.
Note that me being or not party to the Information Tribunal appeal case is completely irrelevant to my request. I clearly stated reasons why I believe public have right to know the information requested. Your reply failed to address any of those.

Yours faithfully,

Marcin Musial
