Can you FOI an MP? Or are they exempt due to parliamentary privilege?

Fergie76

Soon find out.

Edit - after a quick google search apparently not, as an individual MP is not a public body.

You can send a Subject Access Request to your MP instead, it will cost a max of £10.

I'm not sure you can SAR individuals, unless MPs come under the same category as companies or other similar bodies.

Also had a reply from my MP. How clueless...

I have to exercise my own judgement. I want to help but cannot see that you have a case. The car was wrongly parked!
I will get my researcher to look into the legislative point you have raised.
I have not spoken to anyone about your case, just used the internet and my own knowledge

"The car was wrongly parked"

"just used the internet and my own knowledge"

Send him a link to this thread. He night find some useful information on the interwebular and also start to realise the depth of feeling and the size of the problem.


Some of the posters on the Parking Ticket forum might even be his constituents.

I have already sent him links to this board and also pepipoo. Some people just can't see the wood for the trees.

I think he needs a better researcher though and to improve his own knowledge. Sounds like he has swallowed the BPA handbook.

Once I get my POPLA result, I might arrange an appointment for one his surgeries and have a face-to-face discussion with him and try to educate him.
