It would seem to indicate that there also exists in the Department a body of 'incompetent' staff?

It's a shame that an FOI request has to be done to find out factual information from the Department. Anyway, all they have to do is make every document public and they don't have to do any work for me. :) @amused Superfluous is subjective.

It's a joke. Yes, I might start making more noises. My next request is going to cost the same I've been told. @Keith – cheers
