Subj: Home Office FoI request CR14428 PLUS FOUR MORE FOI QUESTIONS and COMPLAINT
Dear Mr Lister, COMPLAINT re 3-month delay in answering 12 FOI Questions on 19 March Note: This e-mail is NOT confidential On 21 April you wrote and told me that the Home Office were unable to answer my 12 questions about Madeleine McCann in the normal 20-day period required under the Freedom of Information Act, because you needed more time to consider whether answering any or all of these 12 questions was or was not 'in the public interest' (see your e-mail below). You told me that you anticipated you would be able to reply by 19 May. That would have made it 40 days since making my request, not the normal maximum, 20. I was concerned about the continuing delay and wrote to you as follows on 27 May:
On 27 May I received this 'Out-of-Office Auto Reply' from you: "I am out of the office, returning on Tuesday 8th June 2010. Your email will not be read. I will endeavour to reply to your email at the earliest opportunity on my return. If your enquiry is urgent, please contact my colleagues in the Information Access Team or email info.access@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk". I immediately responded by sending the following e-mail to the Information Access Team as suggested: Dear Information Access Team, I have received this from Ian Lister's e-mail address: I am out of the office, returning on Tuesday 8th June 2010. Your email will not be read. I will endeavour to reply to your email at the earliest opportunity on my return. If your enquiry is urgent, please contact my colleagues in the Information Access Team or email info.access@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk I confirm that this matter is urgent as you are now 5 weeks past the maximum period allowed for replying to an FOI Act request. I require an immediate answer to the 12 questions I asked back on 19 March, a copy of which you have. Please respond ASAP. Tony Bennett 66 Chippingfield HARLOW Essex CM17 0DJ Tel: 01279 635789 ++++++ Neither you nor they has replied to that e-mail. Today is 17 June, and another 4 weeks have gone by. It is now 64 weekdays since I made my request. If I deduct Good Friday, Easter Monday and the two Bank Holidays, it is still 60 working days since I asked 12 questions which (a) were very straightforward factual questions and (b) were manifestly in the public interest, since the McCanns, their public relations advisers, members of the government and of course the media have made this the most well-known case of a missing child ever. I am very concerned about the continuing delay in answering my questions. Could you please now tell me if you are in a position to answer any or all of them. I also have the following additional, new questions: 1. Since 19 March 2010, has any government minister in the Home Office or civil servant met with the McCanns, or any of their public relations advisers or leagl advisers? 2. If so, please give the dates and whether the meetings were with ministers or civil servants. 3. If so, please state the reason for the meetings and sttae whether minutes were kept. 4. Has legal advice from counsel been taken by the Home Office about whether or not the Home Office should answer any or all of the 12 questions I asked three months ago on 19 March. I look forward to hearing from you without delay. This was the origimal letter to the Home Office Freedom of Information Act Section including the 12 Questions: From: Anthony Bennett 66 Chippingfield Tel: 01279 635789 HARLOW e-mail: ajsbennett@btinternet.com Essex CM17 0DJ Home Office Friday 19 March 2010 Head of Freedom of Information Act Section Direct Communications Unit 2 Marsham Street LONDON SW1P 4DF By e-mail to public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk And by hard copy Dear Sir/Madam re: Questions to the Home Office Freedom of Information Act Section - Involvement by the Home Office with the McCanns regarding a possible review or re-investigation into the disappearahce of Madeleine McCann During the past two weeks, several newspapers have referred to the following matters in relation to the Madeleine McCann case: a) one or more meetings between Home Secretary Alan Johnson and the McCanns b) several meetings between the McCanns and staff of the Home Office c) the commencement of a ‘scoping exercise’ to evaluate what form any review or re-investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance may take d) the appointment of the Chief Executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, Mr Jim Gamble, to advise the Home Office as to which police force should carry out any review or re-investigation e) the reported decision by Jim Gamble and the Home Office to appoint West Yorkshire Police to carry out a review or re-investigation. It is evident that there remains huge public interest in and beyond the U.K. in what really happened to Madeleine McCann, which was described as recently as 19 February by the McCanns’ chief public relations adviser, Mr Clarence Mitchell, as ‘a complete mystery. The clear public interest will therefore be served by your section providing full answers as soon as possible to the following questions under the Freedom of Information Act. We would add that the answers to these questions must be readily available to officials and so the cost of providing them should be minimal. Here are the questions: 1. On what date or dates has the Home Secretary Alan Johnson had meetings with one or both of the McCanns? 2. Who else was present at these meetings: in particular, was any lawyer or othert adviser for the McCanns present? 3. On what dates did meetings take place between one or both of the McCanns and staff of the Home Office? 4. Please identify all the staff who met with the McCanns and again identify whether the McCanns had legal or other representatives with them. 5. On what date did the McCanns first approach the Home Office asking for a review or re-investigation by a British police force into Madeleine’s disappearance? 6. Is the Home Office carrying out what the Daily Telegraph called ‘a scoping exercise’ to evaluate what form any review or re-investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance may take’ and, if so, on what date did that scooping exercise commence? 7. Why, according to the press, was Chief Executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, Mr Jim Gamble, given the role of advising the Home Office as to which police force should carry out any review or re-investigation? 8. On what date did the Home Secretary ask Mr Gamble to perform this role? 9. On what date did Mr Gamble make his recommendation? 10. Did he, as reported, recommend West Yorkshire Police to carry out a review or re-investigation? 11. Has West Yorkshire Police, as reported, been asked to carry out a review or re-investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann? 12. If so, what is the brief or remit that the Home Office has given to West Yorkshire Police? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely Anthony Bennett Yours sincerely Tony Bennett . --- On Wed, 21/4/10, FOI Responses

Re: Someone Unlocked Bennett's Door Again & He Escaped!
Please note that you spelt 'Madeleine' incorrectly in your letter and headnote, please note the correct spelling for future reference
Pot calling the kettle black here, Bennett had to be told he had spelled Madeleine incorrectly several times before he corrected himself, seems to be a thing of Bennett's is misspelling names, still I can talk, I spell Bennett like this - "Moron".

Rosie,
The only two words Bennett always spells correctly are Donations and Money. I wonder why he won't sponsor Butler on her 2000 mile walk?.

Chris, he certainly can't spell the name of route he used to when he said he "donated" £500 to Amaral's fund!
Mulleena, thing is he just doesn't know how he really is.

Because she didn't release the bank account?

Makes it very clear all he cares for is himself, his ego and money.
