Our reading: Since 14 October 2026, 3 emails are on file: 1 sent, 2 received (0 with content, 2 automatic acknowledgements). The response status is unchanged: “Disclosing”. Most material: 20 October 2026, sent, request (ref Z084NQV): The requester asks the office to put three specific questions to HM Land Registry's Chief Executive and to check on the Ministry of Justice reply. Nothing here changes the earlier current finding unless stated above; this is a log of contact, not a finding about any person.

Assessed 14 October 2026. Scope: the Member of Parliament’s office as a point of escalation for the family’s correspondence. The office is not a decision-maker on title. Inclusion is not a finding of fault.

Documented appearances

DateAppearance
12 June 2026The family writes to the MP about Great House Farm (now Church View Close).
27 July 2026The family lodges a complaint that earlier correspondence had no substantive response.
5 August 2026The office replies that it searched its systems, regrets the lack of earlier replies and takes up the matter.
20 August 2026The office reports further enquiries made on the family’s behalf.
18 September 2026The office forwards a response from the HM Land Registry Chief Executive and Chief Land Registrar (register entry R44). The family asks to meet and sends further material on 18 and 19 September. The office states it is still awaiting the Ministry of Justice.

Sources: the family’s Gmail correspondence and the reply register (R44).

Current finding

As at 14 October 2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing by the office. After the 27 July complaint the office engaged and made enquiries. Whether the Ministry of Justice has now replied is not recorded here.

Next step

Log the Ministry of Justice response date when received and record whether a meeting took place. Acceptance: the outstanding MoJ answer is received or a dated chase is on file. See the Ministry of Justice review.

(b) Inconsistencies and gaps

None found in the correspondence on file.

(c) Quarantined-name links

Records on the quarantine register (Kissed Frogs) that sit in, or came from, this institution’s holdings. None is treated as settled.

No quarantined-name record on the register is linked to this institution’s holdings.

(d) Duty and liability — our reading

Liability indicators (our reading): none

Duty
Freedom of Information Act 2000 s.1 and s.10 (confirm or deny, and supply held information within 20 working days); Environmental Information Regulations 2004 for land and environmental records; records management under the s.46 Code of Practice; Public Records Act 1958 selection and transfer for central government records.
Indicators the duty was not met
none found in the correspondence on file.
Evidence still needed to confirm
the institution’s retention schedule and disposal record for the series in question; the catalogue or file list it searched; any internal review or complaint outcome.
Likely extent of exposure if confirmed
An ICO decision notice or a records-management finding; any reparations claim would also need a link between a records failure and the loss.

(e) Evidence still needed
