You can ask us to review our response. If you want us to carry out a

If you are still dissatisfied after our internal review, you can complain
to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). You should make complaints
to the ICO within six weeks of receiving the outcome of an internal
review. The easiest way to lodge a complaint is through their website:
[1]www.ico.org.uk/foicomplaints

[2]FOI and EIR complaints
Check if your complaint is eligible to come to the ICO or find out if
there is more action you need to take before you can complain to us. For
example, you may need to have requested an internal review before you can
make a complaint.  If you are able to complain to us, you will need have
the following information: copies of any letters or emails between you and
the organisation that contain details of your request(s) for information;
a copy of your request for an internal review (where appropriate);  a
letter of consent from the person you are complaining for, if you are
complaining for someone else; or  other evidence of your concern. If you
do not provide the information we need, we may not accept your complaint.
You should also read about what to expect from the ICO when you complain .
This tells you how long our complaints process takes and examples of
likely outcomes.
