Dear Kieran

 

Further to our below email, apologies for not including the reason for
extension.

 

This extension is necessary because consultations needed to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit. 

 

Kind regards

While the SSC corrected their initial mistake (didn't mention reason for extension), they have not provided you with the ground to support the extension. Section 15A of the OIA requires the SCC to 'give the reasons for the extension' and I believe they have fallen short in this regard. I would be keen to understand what consultations needed to occur (and that remain outstanding) for the need to extend for another 20 working days to make a decision (this could be a separate OIA that you could submit). I would also encourage you to file a complaint with the Ombudsman, as they can make enquiries about whether the extension was necessary in the circumstances.
