"The gravity of these discrepancies cannot be understated. If DBT failed to address, investigate, or report the false retirement claims presented to a public Inquiry, it represents a failure of regulatory oversight and a breach of public trust"

"I want to ensure I’m following the appropriate process without creating unnecessary burdens. If there are any restrictions on the volume or frequency of FOI requests, or if there is a more efficient way to address these queries, please let me know. I’d be happy to adjust my approach to minimize inconvenience for your team"

"My FOI request, submitted on 15/02/2025, is now overdue beyond the statutory 20-day deadline, yet I have received no response. Given that the Grenfell Inquiry provided a response to the same email, while DBT has failed to do so, this delay raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability"

"Thank you for your email of 17 February 2025 where you requested the following information: Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I request the following:
A. Correspondence and Notifications:
All correspondence between DBT (formerly BIS) and UKAS regarding senior staff changes between January 2012 and March 2013"

"Given the sensitive nature of my request, which involves data discrepancies presented during the inquiry, i find it deeply concerning and unacceptable to proceed with further correspondence while DBT continues to misrepresent the filing date of my FOI request"

"Thank you for your internal review request which was received on 20th March. In accordance with the FOI code of practice we will provide you with a response within 20 working days. We will therefore reply at the latest by 17th April."
