Dear Ms Grieve,

Thank you for your letter of 18 November 2011 received on that date
by E-mail advising of a delay in responding to my request for
information made pursuant to Section 1(1) of the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA).

You have failed to respond within the required timescale as set out
by FOISA and I have allowed a further week and there appears to be
no response as of yet.

I therefore require Strathclyde Police to conduct an internal
review into their handling of the request for information pursuant
to Section 20 of FOISA.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,
Alistair P Sloan
