Morning All

I have been dealing with requests for data from the CSA lately, firstly
their requests were in an unstructured manner and thus refused.  Now they
tell me that all LA's must supply any data they request without question, I
have asked them to apply a DP exemption (assuming its s.35(1) ).  They are
totally unaware of their requirements in this area, whenever they are asked
for their legal powers for demanding the data, their answers are
unsatisfactory - on occasions threatening myself and other colleagues in the
West Midlands area with imprisonment if we fail to comply, without ever
quoting legal powers (i.e. Act, section and application).

Has anyone else managed in another area to get a solid response to the
question of legal powers and exemption applied?

Maybe I can resolve this before I have to reply to Jiscmail of HMP Letter
headed paper.
