Dear Ms Owens,

Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Extension of time - RFI 304

Thank you for your request for information about:

`the amount ofmoney Natural England has spent on Common Purpose training in the last 5 years. and also the numbers of employees that have undertaken Common Purpose training'.

which we received on 20th May 2008

The Act allows us 20 working days to respond to your request from the date of its receipt. However, it is occasionally necessary to extend the 20 working day time limit for issuing a response. In this case, I regret that we must extend the time limit for responding by 20 days to 16th July 2008

This is because Natural England reasonably requires further information in order to identify and locate the information that you have asked for. Rob Edwards our Leadership and People Development Manager will be contacting you with details of the clarification we require to take this matter further.
