Hi John

 

We wrote to you on 24 February 2020 requesting evidence that you meet the
criteria under Section 12 of Official Information Act 1982, however have
not yet received a response from you. Due to a lack of evidence we are
unable to proceed with your OIA request and this case has now been closed.
