I have had nothing back yet but this afternoon I e-mailed them a polite reminder with this:
Just a polite reminder that the Freedom of Information request I submitted on 24 November 2016 has not yet been answered.
Authorities should regard the 20 working day limit as a ‘long stop’, in other words the latest possible date on which they may issue a response.
It also follows that an authority which provides its response close to, or on, the final day of the 20 working day limit ought to be able to both account for, and justify, the length of time taken to comply with the request.
Kind regards
