Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to remind you that you have broken the law by not responding to my freedom of information request within the 20 day statutory time limit.

Please supply the information that I have requested promptly before a formal complaint is made to the information commissioner.

I have included a link to the Sexual Offences Act 1985 - which details the kerb crawling offence - should you need any further guidance when compiling the data I have requested.
