In principle, yes! By time, are you referring to number of days or labour hours?

I meant number of days. Have you used FOI act yourself for such a thing or know about this well.

Thanks for your reply though.

I have used FOI before but not in the same request category as yours. I requested for all correspondence exchanges between me and UKBA, HO and British Higher Commission Office in my country for the last 11 years be forwarded to me.
