Dear Information Rights Team,
Thank you for the reply.If Mark Baker were to ask for the Grant Funding Agreement between POL and NFSP would he have to wait a year currently?Real doubts exist in many SPM minds over how much they are apprecaited by POL or are we just cash cows.Nick Read has increased SPM pay and made other improvements but it is only through FOI requests we can see how much less we get paid than a decade ago.You mention I have repeated questions without giving you time to reply-I have only asked follow up qestions when the What do they Know site has advised me you have exceeded the time allowed to respond in law.I apologise if this causes annoyance.Some of the NED hopefuls were grateful for the information you supplied,it would be a great pity if POL decides not to share its knowledge with its front-line workers because one of them is asking all the questions.If you can answer any of these matters I know lots of SPM will be grateful,regards John O'Sullivan

Yours sincerely,
