Dear Mr Williams,
Thank you for your Internal Review request received on 14 February 2018. An internal review
has been carried out by someone of a senior grade to the person who dealt with your original
request. I am now in a position to respond to you. In your review request you said:
That the request to Freedom of Information request 212 was not responded to within the usual
period and no explanation had been given.
In response to your request, I can confirm that the handling of your original request and
response has now been appropriately reviewed by someone unconnected with the handling of
your original request.
I would like to apologise on behalf of the Department that the response to Freedom of
Information request 212 was not received on time and would like to confirm that steps have
been taken to prevent a similar situation occurring again in the future.
If you have any queries about this letter please contact me quoting the reference number
above.
Yours sincerely,
DWP Strategy FoI Team
