Dear Mr Boomer,
Thank you for your email and for your continued patience.
I’m sorry that you have not yet received a response to your FOIA request. I recognise that we have missed the statutory deadline set out under FOIA, and understand this falls below the standard of timeliness you should expect.
I have looked into and am monitoring the progress of your request, which I can confirm is close to completion. As our previous email states, we aim to issue a full response on or before 26 March, but I will be in touch again if we fail to meet this revised deadline.
Kind Regards
Head of Historical Information Rights Team, Information Rights Unit | Information Rights Unit, FCDO
