Dear Sir or Madam,

I made a FOI request on January 30th 2009 which can be seen at:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/va...

I understand that under the Freedom of Information Act a response
was due by February 27th. It would therefore appear that the FCO is
in breach of the law and I am therefore now requesting an internal
review.

I have also sent a copy of this message to my local MP.

I would obviously still appreciate an answer to my original
request.

Yours sincerely,

Liam Craig-Best
