Hello,
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
My request is EVERYTHING BUT vague.
It is extremely detailed and I expect a response ASAP, especially considering that you didn't ask for any specific clarifications.

Your response is not in the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act I'm afraid, not very impressive.

Best regards,
LD

Dear Laila,

Thank you for your email.

The reason we have sought clarification was because the full detail of the request did not go through to the department processing your request.
They have only received the part that asked for information about the grant.

I can confirm the request in full is now with the relevant team and you should receive a response by the deadline previously indicated.

Kind regards
