Dear *OIA,

Thanks for your response, but it is incomplete. I had asked for information on the rough value of any fraud discovered, and no information or specific refusal is included. I'd appreciate a response to that section, otherwise I am happy to go to the Ombudsman for effective refusal.

Yours sincerely,

Alex Harris
