I received this reply on June 20th some 32 days after I wrote to Mr. Reid (see
this site for why I am not happy over the length of the wait). Frankly, its rubbish. My dad also wrote to the Home Secretary and received the exact same response. How I would love to have a meeting with the man. Not.
Dear Mr ____________,
Thank you for your e-mail of 19/05/06 addressed to the Home Secretary, In your e-mail you identify a number of areas which you believe are inaccurate or incomplete in the official report on 7th July last year. I have been asked to reply on the Home Secretary’s behalf.
I note your detailed comments on the Official Account, but please be reassured that it draws together the information across Government and from the police and intelligence agencies in order to establish clearly the events leading up the 7 July bombings. It is intended to reflect what is known about the persons responsible for carrying out the attacks and how and why they came to do what they did.
The narrative draws together the information across Government and from the police and intelligence agencies in order to clearly establish what we know about the events leading up the 7 July bombings.
About your request seeking permission to post our reply on the July 7 website, whether you decide to publish it is a matter entirely up to you.

Why would I want a reply which frankly says nothing useful and is written by someone I didn't even write to?
