Thank you for your email of 22 July, regarding your internal review request.

I apologise that we have not responded before now.

As I am sure you will understand, as well as the complexities of the public interest arguments of this case, we have been working under the added burden of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, including home working, where everything has to be done remotely.

We have continued to work on your internal review request and we anticipate being able to respond shortly, and in any case within the next 20 working days.

Yours sincerely,

OGA FOI Officer.
