Dear BE

We refer your request of 30 August 2022 for access to documents held by
the Prime Minister’s Office under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

The current due date for a decision on this request is 29 September 2022.
Searches for relevant documents are being undertaken, however the Prime
Minister’s Office is not currently in a position to complete the document
searches and finalise the decision by this date.

Accordingly, we are seeking your agreement to a 14-day extension of time

and ensure sufficient time to finalise a decision on access. This
additional time would extend the due date for a decision to 13 September
2022. We will endeavour to notify you of the decision prior to this
extended date if possible.

If you agree to this request for an extension of time, we ask that you
confirm this in writing via return email by COB Wednesday 29
