Dear Sir or Madam,

Home Secretary Alan Johnson also announced today 25th September

Post Offices where foreign nationals can enroll fingerprints for a
fee of £8 in order to apply for Biometric ID cards.

Could you please inform me of the names and location of the 17
Crown Post offices where this trail will take place.

In addition could you please provide me with any documentation
including minutes of meeting between the Post Office and UKBA,
correspondence, and reports that relate to the decision making

Dear Mr Elsdon-Baker

Further to our letter to you dated 23 October, I am writing to let you
know we would not be able to send your response today as previously
stated. This is because we require further time to properly consider your
request. It has taken us longer to locate and extract the information you
have requested than we anticipated.

However, we are currently dealing with your request as a matter of urgency
and hope to send you a substantive response as soon as possible.

Once again please accept my apologies.

Yours sincerely

Dear Freedom Of Information Team ( IND ),

I have still not had a response, and it has been well over a month
since I was told this would be dealt with promptly. I'd therefore
like an internal review of this FOI request to establish why it has
taken so long.
