Dear Mr Whittaker, 
 
Re: Freedom of Information Act Request (Our Reference: DTUP-8YJGB9) 
 
I am writing in response to your recent request for information which was received by 
Royal Mail on 27th September 2012. Your request has now been considered under the 
terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You requested the following information: 
 
“Having examined the data, it appears that there may be around 1000 indoor 
post boxes that are not listed in the file you sent. For example, box number 
IP24 3431, which is located inside the Tesco Superstore in Thetford. 
 
Is it the case that these indoor boxes are not recorded in the CMD for some 
reason, or were they accidentally omitted from the data you sent? If the 
former, is there any reason for this? If the latter, then I'd be grateful if you 
could send me the omitted data for these boxes. 
 
Similarly, are there any other sets/types of boxes that aren't stored in the 
CMD or that were accidentally omitted from the data you sent me? If the 
latter, then I'd be grateful if you could send me the omitted data for these 
boxes.” 
 
I can confirm that due to an oversight, ‘Indoor Box’ was not included in our earlier extract 
of the data from the Central Collections Management Database, CMD. Please accept our 
apologies and find attached with this response ‘Indoor Box CMD Extract’ in the format as 
previously requested. Furthermore I can confirm that all posting boxes have been included 
in the data disclosed to you in this and our earlier response.  
 
I hope the information provided is useful to you. If for any reason you are not satisfied with 
this response, you do have the right to request a review. If you wish to do so please set out
