Dear Mr Fallon,

Thank you for your e-mail of 10 January 2009. The Home Office has noted your correspondence referring to my previous FoI response of 22 December 2008

A response to your query will be forwarded to you in due course when the scientific Officer concerned with advising on the issues returns from sick leave within the next 2- 3 weeks. However I should advise that the correspondence will not be handled under the terms of the FoI legislation for the reason that it has already been handled as such and you should have exercised your right to appeal my previous response if you were dissatisfied with the information. I can advise that the response you will receive will be of the same requirements of a FoI response as is Home Office policy on all correspondence.

Yours sincerely

Sammy Jegede
