Dear Mr Doman
I am writing further to my previous correspondences dated 18th September 2009
concerning your request for information.
I apologise for the ongoing delay but we are stil considering the public interest
test under the exemption[
s] contained within section[
s] 31 (1)(a) and 31(1) (e) of
the Act in this case. These are qualified exemptions relating to the prevention
and detection of crime, and the operation of immigration controls. In order to
consider the public interest test fully we need to extend the 20 working day
response period, and now aim to respond by 30th October 2009.
I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Yours sincerely
