Dear Poojan,
I didn’t request a copy of any disclosure log documents — I simply mentioned FOI 24/25-0234 for the agency’s reference because I was asking for other documents that were named/linked in that document…
Please confirm that the six new documents that I actually requested are still being processed currently and that you haven’t incorrectly closed this request.
Yours sincerely,
Clementine Saber
Dear foi,
As per my previous email, can you please confirm that this request is still being actioned and that you didn’t incorrectly close this request after mistakenly sending the disclosure log document.
Yours sincerely,
