Dear Mr Elliott

 

Thank you for your email, which I have passed onto the relevant team to
deal with. 

 

To clarify, this is now being dealt with as a follow-on query to your
previous request, under the same reference number 1150234.

 

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) does not legislate for follow-on
requests and therefore there is no statutory timeframe for us to respond
within.

 

However, I will endeavour to supply the data to you as soon as possible
but no later than 19 April 2018 (20 working days from date of receipt).
