Dear Mark Boomer,
Thank you for your email. We recognise that it took an unreasonable amount of time to process your FOI requests under references FOI2026/09154 and FOI2026/13934, and we sincerely apologise for this. Our team has been working through a backlog of requests, and this has resulted in responses taking longer than they should at the moment.
Our responses confirmed that following a search, we had concluded that no information was held that was relevant to your requests. In answer to your request for clarification on the phrase “relevant to your request”, this means that we have conducted a reasonable and proportionate search of our records for information about the event of interest to you, covering the time period you requested.
If you wish to request a review of the responses you have received, please find the details of how to do so in our letters.
Yours sincerely,
Historical Information Rights Team
Information Rights Unit
