Interesting you should say your reply from the erstwhile Def Sec took months - you may recall my MP had written to Adam Ingram (who is still in post as far as I know) asking what was the further evidence, presented to him in 1997 and since, that changed his opinion from one of an injustice to that of negligence with absolutely no doubt whatsoever. That was on 13 March, and when I recently prodded my MP over the absence of a reply, he wrote back to say it normally takes 8 weeks, and that his secretary will chase the minister after that time. (I don't know why he wrote to Ingram and not Reid)
Anyway, 8 weeks is just about up, so I'm now standing by for the next brush-off - though this question may give them some cause for thought.
