Dear Ms Stedman
Further to our below email, we are currently preparing our response to
your OIA request.
As you may be aware, there are grounds under which information may be

submissions and other correspondence), we are required to consult any
affected third parties who have an interest in that information, to seek
their views on whether any of the withholding grounds apply to the

Before we take the step of consulting with affected third parties, we wish
