Dear Christopher Mallett,

Thank you for informing me that you have overrun the statutory time to respond to my request.

Christopher Mallett,

Dear Mr Preston

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm that the National School of Government holds the requested information.

I hope to be able to reply to your request by the end of this week. If this isn't possible I will notify you.

The National School was formerly a non-ministerial department. However, since 1 April 2011 it has formed part of the Cabinet Office. As such, the organisation is required to process FOI requests via Cabinet Office and, in most instances, secure appropriate clearance before responding to enquiries.

Yours sincerely

Christopher Mallett

Dear Christopher Mallett,

You indicated that you would respond, belatedly, to my request by today but haven't done so. I can only assume that the National School of Government does not wish to publish the information that it holds and is deliberately withholding information in contravention of the Freedom of Information Act.

Please therefore provide copies of emails and documents produced by National School of Government staff in respect of my original request.

Yours sincerely,

Mick Preston

Dear National School of Government,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of National School of Government's handling of my FOI request 'Conferences'.

The National School of Government has missed the statutory response time even though it holds the information requested.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
