Dear Mr McCormack,
Further to our acknowledgement email below, we have had the chance to look
further into your information request. Whilst you have asked for
information relating to the Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”), due to the
title of your email (“Bonus Payment Scandal”) and the recent
correspondence with the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry, we believe that
the subject matter of your email is referring to the Transformation
Incentive Scheme (“TIS”).
We will therefore continue to process your information request in relation
to the TIS, but please do come back if this is incorrect.
With kind regards,
Information Rights Team
