Case Reference: FOI2021/05512
Dear Joseph Lloyd,
We can confirm that the Department holds information falling within the
terms of your request. However, we need more time to consider your
request.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 ('the Act') obliges us to respond to
requests promptly and in any case not later than 20 working days after
receiving your request. However, when a 'qualified' exemption applies to
the information and an accompanying public interest test is engaged,
section 10(3) of the Act allows the time for response to be extended, in
which case a full response must be provided within such time as is
reasonable in all circumstances. In the case of this FOI request, we are
considering section 35 formulation of government policy. However, this is
not yet finalised and will be subject to changes.
The Department has not yet reached a decision on the balance of the public
interest. Due to the need to consider, in all the circumstances of the
case, where the balance of the public interest lies in relation to the
information that you have requested, the Department will not be able to
respond to your request in full within 20 working days.
We hope to let you have a response by 8th November.
Kind regards,
