Dear Lady Fleming

Thank you for your information request received on 5 February
2019.  Please accept our apologies for the delay in sending you a reply. 
The delay was due to staff sickness.

We confirm receipt of your request for information and will handle it
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

The deadline for our response is 5 March 2019 but due to the late
allocation of your FOI to the relevant team, we would respectfully ask
that we be granted an extension of another 20 working days from today. 
This means you can expect to receive a response as soon as possible and no
later than 25 March 2019.

Missing a statutory deadline is not something we take lightly so we are
currently working on improving our internal procedures to ensure that this
does not happen again.

We should like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to
thank you for your patience.

Kind regards
