Hi John,

I wanted to check in on this since I know you are out for a week starting COB today. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks, John. Apologies for the delayed response. In light of your email, I removed the request for Epstein’s and Maxwell’s border crossing and made a few other small tweaks in the attached. I also attached a redline for your convenience. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss.

Thanks again,

Lara





I made a few clarifying edits and think this is ready to go with one exception:

You have added to this a request related to Epstein’s and Maxwell’s border crossings. We can ask for that, but I think this will make the UKCA pause and give this greater scrutiny. They might think that we are trying to get information about P. Andrew, which will cause them to spend time wringing their hands. Ordinarily, we would make an inquiry about border crossing information on a police to police basis first, to see what is there. This one has a tight deadline, and is sensitive, so an MLA request (if you really need this stuff) should be on record.

I can submit the request as attached (with the Epstein and Maxwell border crossing request in it), but it has a higher likelihood of getting hung up in UK government analysis.
