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.

 

You are welcome to contact me and we may still be able to discuss the
information as general correspondence.

 

 

Kind regards
