A letter from Andrew Bridgen MP to the Prime Minister

A. I. Clayton made this Freedom of Information request to Prime Minister's Office Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was successful.

Dear Prime Minister's Office,

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.

Yours faithfully,

A. I. Clayton
