Dear Peter Howard

We are writing in respect of your information request, FOI2023/00328. At

In accordance with section 10 of the FOIA and the FOIA Code of Practice,
Post Office Limited (" Post Office") requires further time to consider the
public interest test in relation to this exemption. An extension is

Dear Mr Howard,

We apologise for the delay in responding to the above request.  We are now
in a position to respond but the size of the files to be sent are too
large for our email system to manage.  We therefore propose to send them
via our secure file-sharing service but we are unable to use the
whatdotheyknow.com email address for this purpose.

Could you therefore please provide us with a personal email address which
we can then use.  This will be used solely for transmitting the files and
will not be used for any other purpose.

To avoid any risk of disclosing your email via the whatdotheyknow site,
please email us directly at [1][Post Office request email]. We
will then send the files to you together with instructions on how to
access the information.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please do contact us.

Kind regards,

provide you with the information you have requested.

If we do not hear from within 40 days of that email (i.e. 25 October
