Dear University of Southampton,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of University of Southampton's handling of my FOI request 'Engagement of Dr Harold A.Aspden'.

My request was made on the 8th June, and I have heard nothing substantive since then.
Sincerely,
(Dr) David J.Fisher

Dear Dr. Fisher,

Your request for an internal review is acknowledged. We will contact you again with the results of the internal review.

Yours sincerely,

FOI Team

Dear Foi,
I note that this request has now been under 'internal review' for more than one year. May I point out that Dr Aspden died some 2 months ago, so that any cause for delay based upon regard for the latter's feelings is now void.

Yours sincerely,

Dr D.Fisher

Foi, University of Southampton
