Dear FOI,

thank you for the swift response . I have a question to ask about question 4 in the attachment where Derby city mentions a willingness to take part in the next phase in February or March.

It is the indepth questionnaire of the next phase that should have come in February or March that my FOI relates to.My question asks if you filled it in and not the one you have attached which is the 60 long questionnaire?

if Derby City did not fill it in , why? Or did DErby city indicate a willingness to take part but never recived any futher communication about the review- not the indepth short 6 questionnaire nor the personal interview.

I do hope that has clarified.

here is a copy of the questionnaire I am enquiring about
