Dear

Freedom of Information Act 2015 REFERENCE NUMBER: IM77201I

Thank you for your request dated 7th February 2017 under the Freedom of Information Act 2015.
As I explained in my email dated 15th February (attached), to be able to identify the information that you have requested I required clarification. My email itemised the additional information we require.

Unfortunately, despite a reminder email on 10th March, you have not responded within the required timescale (see below), therefore I am unable to process your request.

Under section 11(2)(c) Grant of requests for information – a public authority may refuse to give the applicant the information if – the applicant has not complied with section 14(2) (applicant must give additional information requested within 28 days).

However, if you wish to submit a new request which more clearly describes the information you are looking for, we would be able to consider your request and respond accordingly.
