Hi,
thank you for your e-mail!
I think my MP must be Steven Rotherham, labour-MP for Walton.
(I went to the jobcentre in Aintree earlier today, and then I went passed his office).
Even if I have been in the conservative youth party a bit, in Norway.
In the early 90’s I was dragged to their head-quarters in Oslo, (Høires Hus), by my earlier class-mate Magne Winnem.
I was there on one or two course-days in politics, led by Norwegian politician Jan Tore Sanner, (I think it must have been).
I was there only once, I think.
And I was chosen to give advice about the party-program, (for the youth party), before the local-elections in 1991.
(It was after the course, and it was Magne Winnem, Jan Tore Sanner, Bård Brende and me, who was in a kind of election-campaign-comitee).
I didn’t go there on my own initiative.
(Winnem dragged me there).
So I didn’t want to go there after that meeting.
But Winnem managed to drag me to Oslo city centre, on the start-day of the nationwide county and municipality-elections, in 1991, to say hi to Jan Tore Sanner etc., who said the final election-programme got fine.
Something like this.
But I was really dragged there by Winnem, so I thought it would perhaps be a bit like ‘comeradery’, in the party, if I continued to go there.
It wasn’t on my inititive, and my role there was a bit unclear.
(Was I there as Winnems mate or as a citizen).
And I never got anything in the post from eighter Høyre or their youth party.
But I had done some important work there, (with the party-programme), I though, so when it said on a job-contract, some months later, which organisations I was in, I thought I could write ‘Unge Høyre’, since I’d done some important stuff there, I thought.
And I didn’t get paid for this work, so I must have been a member, I think.
The employer was the Norwegian Co-op, by the way, (who bought the hyper-market I worked in, Matland/OBS Triaden).
Now the conservative party in Norway don’t reply to me, (for some reason).
(Maybe Winnem or Sanner mess with me?).
But I still think it’s strange to write to the labour MP’s.
When I’ve been in the conservative party, in Norway.
The ombudsmen in Norway don’t tell you to write to the MP’s.
(So this is a bit strange, I think).
But I still try to write this e-mail.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

We are committed to keeping your information secure. As part of that commitment we have decided that when we send you information by email we may have to remove some details. This includes information that may identify you, or any other person and sometimes the organisation complained about.
Dear Sir
Our reference: EN-161747 (please quote in any future correspondence).
Thank you for your email of 2 May 2013 concerning your complaint about the Information Commissioner (ICO).
We can look at complaints about the ICO where it appears that they have not acted properly or fairly, or have provided a poor service.
However, the law says that we cannot look at a complaint about a government department, agency or organisation, such as the ICO, until a Member of Parliament (MP) has asked us to do so on your behalf. This means that you need to ask an MP to pass on your complaint to us.
You can find out who your constituency MP is by using the following website: www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-
To help your MP understand your complaint, you should give them the following information:
- an explanation of what the problem is;
- a brief history of what happened, and when, including any replies to your complaint from the ICO;
- copies of all letters and papers about the complaint; and
- details of what you want to happen to put things right.
You may find it useful to complete the attached complaint form and forward it to your MP.
Having looked at your complaint, your MP will let you know the best way to deal with it. If your MP does pass your complaint to us, we will look carefully at all the information you have provided and send you, and your MP, a reply telling you what we are going to do about it.
If we do not receive your complaint from your MP by 3 August 2013 we will close your case. However, if your MP passes on your complaint after this date, we will open a new case for you. I will send you a reminder if we have not heard from the MP by 3 July 2013. By law, you must take your complaint to your MP within twelve months of when you first became aware of the problem. We can occasionally extend this time limit if we think there are special circumstances for doing so. We would need you to explain the reason for the delay in taking your complaint to your MP.
If you would like to discuss any of the above, please feel free to contact me.
Yours faithfully
