Thank you for your email of 21st August asking for information under the Freedom of

Could I ask for the fol owing information under the Freedom of Information Act... the
emails which were shared here:
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/correspondence_on_ukraine#outgoing-

in Ukraine. Could I see any fol ow-up emails/related documents or details of meetings or
calls that followed this recommendation related to potential work for FCO/MOD, projects,
advice or consultancy with IOTA Global or SCL or BDI - whether related to Ukraine or
other countries.
Specifically could you include details of any contracts that may have fol owed including
cost, dates and country/purpose.
Please search 2015 - end of 2016.
I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I
have established that the Department does not hold information related to your request.
