This is the only notification you will receive while this person is away.

Dear Mr Thomas,

Thank you for your request for information. To date, including your
request, the record shows 406 requests have been received. The way requests
are logged means that where a person has asked more than one question, it is
still logged as one request. Therefore, depending on how you interpret
this, the number of requests may be far higher than 406. A new system is in
development at present to improve the way we log and record requests for
information. In terms of how many have exceeded 20 days to respond, I am
aware of two cases.

Yours sincerely

Sarah Martin
Freedom of Information Officer
