Now perhaps we might hear something by 30th June 2006 - even more "legal advice" is being taken.

It seems that a full Decision Notice, rather than a preliminary one, has now been drafted, and is awaiting approval by the Information Commissioner

Perhaps we will have heard more in 2 weeks, by the 19th July 2006.

Another "progress" report - the Information Commissioner has still made no decision.

Perhaps more news by the 11th August !

Hopefully, sometime today, we will be getting via "special delivery" a Decision Notice from the Office of the information Commissioner regarding this long running saga.

Will it be in our favour, in which case there will be a big news story, and an appeal by the OGC to the Information Tribubal ?

Or will we be disppointed, and have to consider our own appeal to the Information Tribunal ?
