Introduction
In January 2007, the ICO released via FOI [1] a number of their "Line to take" policy documents - these indicate how they approach certain types of complaints. They are listed in full here.
August 2010
- An updated list has been requested via FOI and is available on WhatDoTheyKnow [2]. There are now 177 LTTs.
- Work is currently in progress to transcribe the updated list of LTTs into a more structured format on FOIwiki, to enable the policies to be more easily interlinked with the other information on the site.
- This is necessary if they are to be easily referred to, as the data was released by the ICO in PDF format, spanning 7 files of around 20-30MB each, with the text poorly OCR'ed. The files were split as follows:
- LTT 1 of 7 covers: LTT1 to LTT40
- LTT 2 of 7 covers: LTT41 to LTT90
- LTT 3 of 7 covers: LTT91 to LTT 116
- LTT 4 of 7 covers: LTT117 to LTT136
- LTT 5 of 7 covers: LTT136 to LTT149
- LTT 6 of 7 covers: LTT150 to LTT165
- LTT 7 of 7 covers: LTT166 to LTT177
