Original Request

I request a copy of the recording that Dr Ranson made on the request of the Cabinet Office communications team in 2020. By "the recording" I mean the recording referred to under the header "Pre-Recorded No Show" online here: https://gef.im/2022/01/25/dr-ranson-the-tribunal-begins/ Since this is an audio-visual record, I am happy to attend your office with a USB memory stick to obtain the record. I imagine it will not be easy to transmit using the usual icasework system.
