Dear Sir or Madam,

I first made this request to the Home Office on 18 March 2008. I was told it had been forwarded to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on 25 March 2008. However, a response is now overdue.

Could you please provide the following information urgently.

The number of British citizens arrested in Athens, Greece between Sunday 20th May 2007 and Friday 25th May 2007, and the number of those arrests attributed to football-related violence or football hooliganism.

The number of those arrests that led to charges.

The number of British citizens deported from Greece on the grounds of football-related violence or football hooliganism between those dates.

The number of British citizens arrested in European countries, excluding the United Kingdom, between those dates.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Clark

Dear Mr Clark

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request. There is no record of having received the request from the Home Office, however, we will treat it as a new request. It has been passed to the relevant section within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to deal with. They will be in touch with you should your request need clarification.

We received your request on 28 April 2008 and will aim to respond within 20 working days.

Yours
