Treaty of Rome

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, House of Commons Commission should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear House of Commons Commission,

Could you please release all documentation relating to the legitimacy of Edward Heath in 1973, signing the UK into the European Economic Community without the consent of the British people.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Rees

Dear Mrs Rees,

 

 

Thank you for your request for information dated 13 April 2015, received
by us on the same date, which is copied below.

 

When a General Election is called, Parliament is dissolved and there is no
‘House of Commons’ for the purposes of the Freedom of Information 2000 Act
(FOIA).  As a result, there is no public authority to which the 20 working
day response deadline is capable of applying.  The time limits are
therefore suspended during the period of dissolution and resume when the
House of Commons first meets following the General Election.

 

As your request was received during the dissolution period, the 20 working
day time limit will commence when the House returns after the General
Election.

 

Further information about the FOIA and Dissolution can be found on our web
pages here:

In the meantime, if you have any queries about your request, please
contact us quoting the request number in the subject line of this email.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Sarah Price | IRIS Support Officer
Information Rights and Information Security (IRIS) Service | House of
Commons
