OSR met with the SMF on 18 September. This was a short telephone call between OSR and SMF that was not minuted or noted, primarily to discuss the disclosure of information in response to a previous FOI request. This is standard as part of FOIA best practice to consult with named parties.
We also discussed casework OSR had undertaken this year, correspondence on this work can be found in our previous FOI responses FOI-2025-3086 and FOI-2025-3186. Our letter to SMF dated 22 September is available on our website.
