Dear A I Clayton
Our ref: FOI2023/15063
Thank you for your email of 19 December, positioned as a request made under the terms of
the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your full request is attached.
The letter was replied to by the Government Department with responsibility for the matters
raised, in October 2023.
Yours sincerely
NICHOLAS HOWARD

Incoming request
Andrew Bridgen MP wrote and sent a letter to the Prime Minister on 7th August 2023, which
I understand to be the only letter of that date which was sent by Mr Bridgen to the Prime
Minister.
The said correspondence was released into the public domain, which is understandable, as it
related to an issue which is of significant public interest.
In the circumstances and in the order for the Prime Minister to serve the public interest in a
positive and transparent manner and indeed, be seen to do so, please advise;
(1) of the reason why the Prime Minister has not yet replied substantively to, nor indeed
acknowledged Mr Bridgen's said letter and in addition, provide any internal communications
from within the Prime Minister's Office relating to reasons for such a delay in response, and
(2) if known, when Mr Bridgen might anticipate receiving the Prime Minister's substantive
response to the said letter.
