Dear Information Rights Unit,

Thank you for your prompt response to my request. I would like to gain further clarification on sub-request two.

I note your response that there are currently 11 'HMRC Admins', however I believe that there are approximately 32 'HMRC Admin' accounts on the site (I do appreciate that some would have been reallocated to other parts of the organisation or left HMRC completely).

Please could you detail the numbering scheme for 'HMRC Admins'?

Yours sincerely,
David Oladiran
