Dear Information Commissioner’s Office,
I am writing to formally object to your recent response in which you stated that the ICO “does not respond to correspondence we have been carbon copied into.” This assertion is demonstrably false in this instance.
The email in question was addressed directly to the ICO, and only copied to Mr Richard Bailey for transparency purposes. It is therefore wholly inaccurate—and unacceptable—for your office to claim that my correspondence “has not been, and will not be, considered.”
This misleading response appears designed to obstruct legitimate scrutiny and delay consideration of matters that fall squarely within the ICO’s remit.
Please now confirm the following:
1. That my original email has been logged and will be reviewed in line with your statutory duties.
2. That this correspondence is being escalated to a senior officer for formal review.
3. That your policy regarding “CC’d correspondence” is being clarified internally to prevent future misuse in cases where the ICO is the primary addressee.
I reserve the right to forward this matter to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC), and/or the relevant Ombudsman, should this obstructive behaviour persist.
Yours sincerely,
Alan M Dransfield
