Dear Phil Collyer,
In its present form your request is too broad and does not fulfil the FOI criteria. We would be grateful if you could be much more specific about the type of information that you are looking for and a timeframe for it.
Yours sincerely

Dear FOI-DPA PMCS (Sensitive),
I believe that the request meets the foi act as a request. Please explain why it does not meet the criteria and under s 16 please advise and assist me as to what factors may need changing in the question.
I am also amending the request so that your assessment as to meeting foi criteria is not used as an excuse to delay the request.
Please give me the recorded information on communications between FCO and Institute for StateCraft in 2017
Who were the partners in the "Integrity Initiative"?
Yours sincerely,
Phil Collyer

These FCO clowns have dragged this out to 10 months now and show no sign of replying. They are undermining the act and trying to put it off until political consequences are less, ie after election
Meanwhile here is a report
