Dear Mr Stacey

Extension of time - public interest test

I am writing to advise you that the time limit for responding to your request for information which the CRB received on 3^rd September 2009 needs to be extended.

It is occasionally necessary to extend the 20 working days time limit for issuing a response. In the case of your request the information requested must be considered under one of the exemptions to which the public interest applies. This extra time is needed in order to make a determination as to the public interest in releasing the information required.

I hope to provide you with a response by 26^th October 2009. If you do not receive my response or further information by then, please contact me and I will investigate the matter.

If you have any queries regarding this letter please do not hesitate to contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

Yours Sincerely

Anna Graves

CRB Freedom of Information Team
