Dear DES Sec-FOI (MULTIUSER),

Thank you for your message.

While I am, of course, a little disappointed that you have waited until the last working day to respond with a PIT notice, I am grateful you have responded and look forward to receiving your full reply in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Martyn Dewar

Dear DES Sec-FOI (MULTIUSER),

I acknowledge your email (and letter) of 17 October.

I would draw your attention to the fact that the Information Commissioner's guidance on this matter [1] is clear in that the ICO's interpretation of the relevant legislation here is that a PIT extension should take no more than twenty working days (as in, forty working days overall as a maximum from time of submission) and that outside of this time any "extension beyond this should be exceptional".

This matter is not, on the face of things, inordinately complex, and, for the most part it is simply requesting data that a Human Resources department would have to hand, or, within easy reach (i.e. through interrogation of a database), therefore, it should have been readily available to the relevant parties. It is, therefore, somewhat remarkable that a long running PIT is required on the basis of "commercial interests" given that the information should have been reviewed promptly upon receipt, and not at the very last minute. This isn't a matter of national security, therefore, it's somewhat unfathomable that there is genuinely something here which requires such extensive analysis that would cause a request to take circa 51 days from submission to response.

I would respectfully request that DE&S/MOD respond without further delay.

Yours sincerely,

Martyn Dewar
