Dear OIA Requests,
In your latest reply you have not mentioned or clarified the links you gave me, which are invalid. Please address this, by correcting those links.
I have checked through all the requests that I have been following, made during the period in question (March, April, May 2021) and have not been able to find the request that is the focus of the current request. (H202104788)
However, you were able to find it from the number I gave you (H202104788) without any difficulty.
How can that be if there is no link to it?
This all suggests to me that this particular request has been removed from the list of accessible requests, even though your department has access to it .
Please clarify.
Yours sincerely,
Virginia Crawford
