Dear Freedom of Information,

thankyou for your automated reply but this does not give you
another 20 days to reply as per your message as you are already
overdue and technically in breach.

I would hope that the information requested will be provided by
close of play Friday the 3rd October

Yours sincerely,

Trudy Richards
