Greetings J Jefferson,
To ensure that the correct information is provided in response to your request, I have interpreted your request as follows:
- Total number of SMC residence applications accepted for processing from the 21 February 2020 - to the date (day we respond) that are currently awaiting allocation?
Can you confirm whether or not you agree with the interpretation?
Please provide response by COB 09/09/2020.
Thanks
Ileini

Dear Ileini Taloa,
Sorry for the lack of clarity in my original request. This interpretation is incorrect.
I wish to find out the total number of applications awaiting allocation from the oldest application still waiting to be allocated (I think the queue is now at approx mid Feb 2019) - to the 25th February 2020.
Yours sincerely,
J Jefferson
