Dear WI FOI-Requests,
Thank you for your response. On the last question, could I just please ask you to clarify if there has been fewer than five across the whole five-years, or fewer than five in each individual year and so minimum five across the period as a whole?
Yours sincerely,
Harriet Clugston
Hi,
That is <5 over all 5 years.
