Dear Hammersmith and Fulham Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Hammersmith and Fulham Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Send Stats'.
I note that you have cited Section 22 of the FOI Act (plans for future publication), but have not indicated the date or required circumstances for publication. As you may be aware, the ICO suggests that this exemption may be applied when one of the following conditions apply:
there is a publication deadline; or
publication will take place once other actions have been completed; or
publication will take place by reference to other related events; or
there is a draft publication schedule that hasn’t been finalised.
I request that you review your response and, if the exemption is upheld, please confirm the conditions under which publication will occur.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s...

Yours faithfully,

Lyndsay Critchlow
