Could I ask for the following information under the Freedom of Information Act... the emails which were shared here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c... indicate an introduction or recommendation of IOTA Global based on their work in Ukraine. Could I see any follow-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.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Dr Emma L Briant,

Thank you for your FOI request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We received your request on 21st August It has been assigned a unique
reference number (above). We aim to respond by Monday, 7 September.

Please note, however, that reprioritisation of resources due to the
COVID-19 crisis, and measures we are required to take to prevent the
spread of the virus, continue to have an impact on our ability to respond
to requests within the statutory deadline.

We have significantly reduced on-site working which will mean delays to
responses which require access to paper records.

We are endeavouring to process requests as quickly as possible, and
appreciate your patience at this time.

Yours sincerely,
