Dear Mr Williams,

I acknowledge your reply of 17th June to my enquiry regarding financing of the CPZ.

I note that you are requesting an extension to the statutory 20 days permitted for a reply to be submitted.

Please will you inform me of the additional number of days within which you are able to make a reply. As you already have a reply letter in draft, requiring only final checking, I would not expect this additional time to be very great.

Thank you for your attention to this matter of obvious public interest.

Yours sincerely,

Percy Roland.

Thank you for your email. We are dealing with your enquiry and we will
get back to you as soon as possible.
