Dear Mr Walker,

the UK Statistics Authority and the Office for National Statistics are part
of the same organisation, hence the response you have previously recieved
covers both ONS and the UK Statistics Authority.

The ICO are aware of this and should have advised you accordingly,

Here is a link to the response ONS/UKSA made to you in March

Dear FOI Team,

1. I was not aware that the UK Statistics Authority and the Office
for National Statistics are part of the same organisation.

2. The ICO has not communicated with me about this.

During my sojourn in Tibet, I went on the "How to Read Minds"
course but was not very good at it.

Perhaps if in future you answered these FOI and internal review
requests, then there would be less confusion.

Yours sincerely,

John Walker
