Dear Matt Burden,
Thankyou for the response.
The second and third question's answer is not what I had requested. I was looking to get the number of applications that are waiting to be allocated (I think the present allocation queue is at 18th April 2019) to 31st May 2019 - question 2 and 3, just for this period 18 April 2019 to 31 May 2019. I'm sorry that my wording made things complicated.
I'm sorry the for inconvenience I have caused you. If I could get the numbers for this request, I'll greatly appreciate it.
Yours sincerely,
Elsa Philip
