FOI request 0818
Thank you for your email dated 10 September 2018.
We have taken your email to be a revised request in response to our formal consultation letter sent to you on 30 August 2018. Please inform us as a matter of urgency and by COB tomorrow if this is not the case.
We will otherwise proceed to consider your revised request for “all minutes of the SMRC in relation to the CWI and GWS decision”.
At this stage you can expect to receive a decision by 18 September 2018. We will inform you if this changes for any reason.

Dear Ms Anderson
FOI request 0818
We are currently processing your revised request for access to “all minutes of the SMRC in relation to the CWI and GWS decision”.
A decision is currently due by tomorrow 18 September 2018. In reviewing the documents however, it is apparent that there are some third parties who need to be consulted. We propose to attempt this consultation informally if possible, rather than formally under s 27A of the FOI Act, which we note would extend the decision-making time for a further 30 days. We do however require some extra time to complete the consultations and our decision and accordingly, seek you agreement to an extension of time of 14 days under s 15AA of the FOI Act. This would mean a decision would be due to you on 2 October 2018. We will provide it earlier if it is completed before that time.
Could you please respond with you agreement to the above proposed extension of time as soon as possible and by COB today.
Regards
Jan Bowman
