Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been advised of the following from The DWP Managers Update
of March 2007.

"Diversity Challenge
The Diversity Challenge Pledge was signed by Lesley Strathie and
Matthew Nicholas at our national conference last month.
All senior managers attending the conference also signed their
pledges and accepted responsibility for implementing the challenge
into their business area
The Diversity Challenge will be launched in May 2007 to all areas
of Jobcentre Plus. This will require us all to closely examine key
areas of the service we provide to ensure that it supports the new
legislation.

Service intranet site"

Please provide a copy of the Pledge Document indicated, or the text
of the document and provide a list of all those who signed the
document at the mentioned conference - and any others who signed
the pledge at any other time due to absence from the conference.
Please provide Name and Job Title.

Yours faithfully,

Dear DWP Adelphi Freedom-of-Information-Request,

I understand that A full response to this Freedom Of Information

By law public authorities must respond "promptly", and in any event
not later than 20 working days after receiving a request.

for delay and what action is being taken to address it with a
proposed resolution date.

Yours sincerely,

Dear DWP Adelphi Freedom-of-Information-Request,

Thank your for your response - and the included copy of the
"Jobcentre Plus Diversity Pledge ".

However my FOI Request reads;

"I have been advised of the following from The DWP Managers Update
of March 2007.

"Diversity Challenge The Diversity Challenge Pledge was signed by
Lesley Strathie and Matthew Nicholas at our national conference

Please provide a copy of the Pledge Document indicated, or the text
of the document and provide a list of all those who signed the
document at the mentioned conference - and any others who signed
the pledge at any other time due to absence from the conference.
Please provide Name and Job Title."

You seem to have omitted the list of those who signed this pledge
as requested in the Originating FOI Request.

Please provider a full response to the Originating FOI Request by
return.

Could you please provide a copy of the information that has been
requested.

This is not a new FOI request, but clarification of the failure to
provide a relevant response to the original request.

This in not a request for Internal Review - it is a request that
you comply with the original FOI Request - Promptly.

Yours sincerely,

white.mark.a
