Dear Freedom of Information Unit,

Many thanks for this fantastic response!

Release of information like this really helps the market to be more
competitive and fair, because many people with the technical skills
have no way of knowing the actual purchaser's methods and
requirements.

Yours sincerely,

Julian Todd
