My reply to the Home Office.

With reference to my original e-mail, it has been publicly stated by Phorm that they had discussed their plans with the Home Office and were happy that they would be operating within the law. What advice did the Home Office give to Phorm to make them believe that they would be operating in compliance with RIPA?

If you are suggesting that the Home Office is not responsible for upholding RIPA then you should maybe let the ICO know as they have redirected people to the Home Office on questions of RIPA.

From http://www.ico.gov.uk/Home/about_us/...e_and_oie.aspx

"The Home Office is responsible for compliance with RIPA and Phorm has approached the office directly and had a written response."

If you are unwilling to respond directly to me could you let me know how to go about requesting a copy of your response under the current freedom of information legislation.

A copy of this e-mail may be posted on cableforum.co.uk in their thread re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts.
