Hi,

I appreciate your message of 27/06/2019 where you requested more time, and suggested a target date of 06/08/2019.

I would be very grateful for a clearer explanation for this expected delay, given the 20 working day timescale set out by the FOIA. By my reckoning a the target date would mean this request has taken roughly 40 working days.

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Plumb
