A report at

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/d...

suggests a response to a request for the same information was provided by the Treasury on 8 April 2021, and some of the text messages requested were released.

It might be worth a further meta-request to ask when other requests for this material were made, and replied to.

Once a FOI response had been prepared why was it not sent to all those who had requested the information?

A follow-up could be sent asking for a prompt response, noting the report indicating a response to this request has already apparently been prepared.

It may be that this request is not as tightly defined as the request which has already reportedly received a response.

Any related requests can be linked via annotations.

The enquiry which prompted that published response was made the day after the request here on WhatDoTheyKnow.com.
