Petition Investigate the role of the Information Commission due to its ineffectiveness

Call for an investigation into the role of the ICO and why they refer the public back to, and do not act against, the public bodies/organisations who do not reply to data requests and maintain their silence in order to block/obstruct complaints. Urgent changes/reforms to the law need to be made
