Dear Mr Hudgell
Thank you for your email. I am very sorry that you have not received a reply to your original email and follow up email which was forwarded to the Foreign Office department dealing with UN matters. I was assured at the time by this department that they would be responding to you.
Your email was not registered as a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. Instead we are treating this as 'business as usual'. This means that we are able to deal with this as a straight forward request for information, the type of correspondence we used to deal with routinely before FOI.
I will chase the department again and ensure that they issue a response to you quickly.
Once again please accept my apologies for this delay.
Yours sincerely.
