Dear Rebecca Woodward,

I would like to offer my apologies for the delay in responding to your
three FOI requests [2020-0006762, 2020-0006765, 2020-007567]. The
department takes very seriously its obligations under the Act, including
the requirement to respond within the statutory deadline of 20 working
days. I am afraid that we have not been able to maintain this standard in
this instance and while there may be considered to be mitigating
circumstances, this delay is not acceptable and I am very sorry for the
inconvenience which it may cause you. We are preparing the information for
release and will send it to you before the end of August.

Yours sincerely

Jen Martino

And who they were written by? (If not Individual an indication of which organisation)

In particular the Steiner equality Duty assessment - what date was it written and who it was written by?

Also the Exeter business case - what is the date for that please?

Yours sincerely,
