Dear Sir or Madam

Re: Request for the designation of the National Police Chiefs? Council as a public
authority under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

I refer to my tetter of 18 May 2018 requesting that the Home Office make an order to
designate the National Police Chiefs? Councit a public authority under section 5 of
the Freedom of information Act 2000. In that letter I asked you to respond within 28 days
by 15 June 2018) with a timeline for when you will make the requested order.

I refer aiso to your email of 25 May 2018 in which you acknowledged my 18 May letter and
stated that you would send me a full response by 18 June 2018.

The 18 June 2018 has now passed and have not received any response from you. I
consider this unacceptable, especially given that your response date of 18 June 2018 was
itself an extension of the deadline I gave in my 18 May letter.

As explained in my 18 May letter, there are urgent reasons for why the NPCC should be
designated a public authority, and the Information Commissioner?s Office and NPCC have
given my client assurances that the NPCC should be designated as such. There is therefore
no reason why the Home Office should delay in making its order to designate the NPCC a
public authority.

I ask that you respond to my 18 May letter and provide the requested timeline within five
working days, Le. by no later than Tuesday 26 June 2018.
