I am writing concerning your OIA request below. This email is to advise
that we will need to extend the time limit for responding to you by 20
working days, to 10 November 2022. This is because consultations necessary
to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot
reasonably be made within the original time frame (section 15A(1)(b) of
the OIA refers)

However, if this process is completed before 10 November 2022, the
response will be sent to you as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at:
[1]DM‑[email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and
