Dear Institute of Education, University of London,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Institute of Education, University of London's handling of my FOI request 'Tier 4'.

[ Under the Freedom of Information Act, you are liable to provide all the information as requested. You cannot shift the burden of information to some other organization body like UKBA. The information which has been requested are those information which should be always handy with the educational institution because these information needs to be reported to UKBA directly under the sponsorship duties. So I hope you would be able to reply me within the stipulated time.
