Your request for a review of this matter has been passed to me I apologise
for my delay in replying as I have just returned from holiday. I have
looked into this matter and understand you have now received a response to
your request. Your first request for a review was not passed to me and I
understand you have already received an apology for that. The response
was clearly not sent within 40 days of your request. The delay was because
of workload pressures within the Freedom of Information Team, similar
delays are being experienced by other people requesting information. I
have asked the manager of the team to try and address the resource problem
but this is proving difficult. I can only apologise for the delay and
accept that is not satisfactory.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the internal
complaints
procedure then you may take your complaint to the Information
Commissioner's Office, the government body established to enforce
the
legislation. Their details are Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF, telephone 01625 545 700, Email: [email address],
