Dear FOI Team,

An Internal Review must be completed within 20 working days... - exceptional cases within 40 days... Please explain what is so exceptional about this case for an internal review? - as obviously 20 working days would of been 7th March, which is already since past...

http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/l...
• A review must be impartial, thorough and swift and the outcome must be notified promptly to the complainant.
• A one-stage review should be completed in 20 working days. In exceptional cases it may be appropriate to take longer but even in those cases it should not exceed 40 working

Yours sincerely,

Wayne Pearsall
