Dear Foifoi Mcgee,

After internal enquiries, I can confirm there has been no internal discussion, consideration, or deliberation of any kind relating to the removal of the name 'Palestine'.

Please also see some of the galleries/commemorative area images attached, including a flag. These images contain the word Palestine and are intended to remain in the galleries ongoing.

On this basis, are you willing to withdraw your Freedom of Information (FOI) request?

Kind regards,

Daniel Martynow
