Inconsistent Replies to FOI Requests
Dear Post Office Limited,In FOI2023/00304 you supplied a commendably detailed explanation of what the term "on the High Street" means,excellent and thank you.FOI 2022/00495 asked What is meant by "the system believes?" when used by the Horizon Helpline team.You turned down this request quoting thus". Given that it is not for a public authority to create new information to satisfy an FOI
request, I am content that the information is therefore not held. Given your response to 2023/00304 and very serious criticism of your "biased,unthinking and mechanical search systems" which Ben Foat,Kate Gallafent and Nick Read have all pledged to improve might I respectfully urge you to reconsider FOI202/00495.Perhaps with your ample resources and no little application a defination of"This means that your declarations have resulted in a cash
shortage meaning the system believes your cash declaration should be
more than what you have said. "What is meant by "the system believes?"”can be achieved.Or was 2023/00304 a one off?
Yours faithfully,John O'Sullivan

Dear information.rights,How can asking why three FOI requests all were handled differently not be a request for recorded information?
Yours sincerely,
