From: Ian Andrews

Dear Info@Corrections,

You transferred my request to the Crown Law Office on 14 October 2015 , but this is in appropriate . Crown Law is only the provider of the service . Surely the legal expense is paid from Vote: Corrections , so the responsibility to answer my request remains with Corrections ?

In any case Crown Law hasn't answered me .

Yours sincerely,

Ian Andrews
