Thank you for your email. As you will appreciate, information requests
place additional demands on the School in terms of costs and staff time.
At present we are having to prioritise our finite resources in order to
meet the unprecedented challenges we are facing during the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. As such, we need to advise you that while we will
continue to process individual requests, you may experience some delay in
our response during the current pandemic.
Dear London School of Economics,
I am writing to request an internal review of London School of Economics's handling of my FOI request 'LSE BSc Mathematics and Economics application statistics'.
I submitted a request on the 2nd of April 2022, and by law I should have received a response by 4th May, which I have not received unfortunately. May I kindly ask for an internal review in order to process this response as swiftly as possible.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
