10. Letter to the Commissioner from
Mr Peter Golds, 12 November 2009
I am following up on my letter of September and your
response which confirms that you are inquiring into Mr Fitzpatrick
using pre-paid House of Commons envelopes and unsolicited correspondence
to constituents.
I now have additional evidence as to how extensive
this actually is.
In July 2007 a neighbour received an unsolicited
invitation to a coffee event, in a pre-paid envelope, which was
followed up by an unsolicited account of the coffee event. I attach
a copy of the letter in which I have redacted the name and address
(I retain the originals) but enclose the actual envelope used.[62]
I also attach a copy of another such letter sent
in November 2007.[63]The
recipient is happy to reveal his name and address, but he cannot
find the envelope. He is prepared to confirm that it was unsolicited
and in a pre-paid envelope.
I would suggest that this is evidence that this use
of pre-paid mail is ongoing and extensive.
