The information, it turns out, was publicly available:
http://www.ips.gov.uk/identity/downloads...
But this document was not published until the 20th August, over a month after my original request.
Eventually, I called the Home Office to follow up on this request. The letters they send have the switchboard number for their general enquiries people, who didn't seem ever to have heard of FoI, let alone knowing who to put me through to. You can call this number if you're in a similar predicament, and save yourself the hassle:
0203 356 8035
