Thank you for your patience whilst we consider your request for

scope of the qualified exemption at section 43 of the Freedom of

Office") requires further time to consider the public interest test in
relation to this exemption. An extension is permitted until such time as
is reasonable in the circumstances. Having considered the FOIA Code of
Practice, Post Office considers that an extension of 20 working days is
appropriate in this instance and will therefore aim to respond to you by

response much sooner than that.
