I refer to your answer to question without notice No. 324 and in particular to your statement that your office answers correspondence within 27 days -
(1) Is this still the case?
(2) Are you referring to a final, substantive answer or to some sort of interim holding response?
(3) If you are not referring to a final, substantive response, then what is the average turnaround time for final, substantive correspondence?
