23 Richard R.
24 Jigyasa S.

The document should be a spreadsheet with the number for each public officer above to avoid personal details and the number of emails sent to each recipient on the specified dates.

For example a spreadsheet similar to these columns and rows underneath.

Public officer no., No. of email sent to Zoe Naden on 16 January 2020, No. of emails sent to Emma Greenwood on 7 July 2020
1, 0, 0
2, 1, 0
3, 0, 0
4, 0 1
...
And so on until public officer 29.

I consent to the removal of names in the public officer list above by Right to Know after this request is sent.

Thanks,
