Taken from SOS Maddie . Seems to confirm that letters were sent back by Jacqui Smith. Translated below:
The procurator was obliged to clarify the situation after publication of news that claimed that the rogatory letters were still in Portugal. The letters are seen as essential in taking forward the resolution of the mystery that is Madeleine McCann
“The rogatory letters are in fact with Jacqui Smith, but were not accepted as they were” confimed a source from the Interior Ministry (of portugal), emphasising that “the whole matter had become delicate and that Gordon Browns government would find it difficult to carry out all of the requests made by the PJ”
