(4) For each challenge, please briefly describe the outcome of the case if completed. Please indicate whether the department further appealed. If the department appealed against the outcome, please also provide the total amount of money spent by the department on the appeal as well as the name of this case.

I would like to receive this information in an electronic format - preferably Excel. If you feel that a substantive response to this request is not possible within a reasonable time frame, I would be grateful if you could contact me and provide assistance as to how I can refine the request.

Dear Ms Corderoy

Thank you for your FOI request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We received your request on 15th July. It has been assigned a unique
reference number (above). We aim to respond by Thursday, 12th August.

Please note, however, that reprioritisation of resources due to the
COVID-19 crisis, and measures we are required to take to prevent the
spread of the virus, continue to have an impact on our ability to respond
to all requests within the statutory deadline.

We have significantly reduced on-site working which will mean delays to
responses which require access to paper records.

We are endeavouring to process requests as quickly as possible, and
appreciate your patience at this time.

Yours sincerely,
