Dear FOI Requests,

I am still waiting for the promised response to the above FOI regarding the voluntary return of trafficking victims (case ref 59752). I was informed on the 19 July that a response was sent in 2021, and that a colleague would forward this as it was not received. I have now been waiting one calendar year for a response to this request. Please escalate accordingly.

Yours sincerely,
M Esslemont
