Dear Guy Forkes,

Thank you for your emails of 11 July 2023. Under section 12(4) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 ("FOIA"), Public Authorities are permitted
to aggregate two or more separate requests received by one person, that
relate to the same or similar information.

We have therefore aggregated your two requests and will handle them as one
under the FOIA. The Act requires that a response must be given promptly,
and in any event within 20 working days. We will therefore reply at the
latest by 10 August 2023.

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

With kind regards,
Information Rights Team

Dear Guy Forkes

We are writing in respect of your information request, FOI2023/00411.
Whilst we are processing your information request, our view is that your
request falls within the scope of the qualified exemption at section 43 of
the Freedom of Information Act (" FOIA"), relating to commercial
interests.

As permitted by section 10 of the FOIA, Post Office Limited (" Post
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
8th September.

With kind regards
