It is not clear from your e-mail exactly what information you require. To help us to 
deal with your request properly, I would be grateful if you could provide some 
clarification.  Are you, for example, asking for information about the handling of your 
FoI request to Hampshire Constabulary or are you asking the Home Office to 
answer the same request that you asked Hampshire Constabulary on the 10th March 
2010?  
 
Once you provide this information, we will aim to send you a full response to your 
request within twenty working days.  If we do not receive clarification of your request 
within three months from the date of this letter, we wil  consider this request to be 
closed. 
 
Thank you for your interest in the Home Office.  I look forward to hearing from you in 
due course. 
 
Yours sincerely
