Dear Barnet Borough Council,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Barnet Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Fostering Fee’s and Allowances'.
It seems I was given the wrong answers to this request. I made a different request in regards to guardianship freedom Of information desperately to this request however or seems the answers for that request were accidentally given on this request.

Please rectify this as I need this information by the end of this week in time for my meeting.

Best regards.
