3. A copy of Minutes / memos or other documents from the project that give a progress update.
4. Any documents showing isues or problems the project is dealing with.
5. Any other documents you feel might be relevant.

Dear OIA_Requests (MSD),
Further to my initial request, I have a number of follow up questions.
1. Why was my request so late in gaining responce? The law around OIA is very clear and no extension was requested.
2. In more than one place in the attached documents it states that the new building (Unisys house) will be %100 of new building standard.
Yet your overview document states an aim of %90 of new building standard. Can you clarify?
3. I do understand that gathering up many documents from the project has time and cost.
But I feel that seeing even a single project update document would be in public interest.
So I request the minutes of the most current project meeting with the DCE.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Crow
