Reference FOI/2025/028
Dear “FOI279”
Thank you for your email to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) dated 6 February 2025, in which you made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) in the following terms:
Please provide a copy of all invoices (CTM, air, hotel, ground transport, cabcharges, COMCAR) for travel by the following officials:
1. Prime Minister
2. Governor-General
3. Minister for Foreign Affairs
for the period of 1 August 2024 to date.
Notification of transfer of FOI request
The FOI Act provides a mechanism to transfer a request to another agency where the subject-matter of the request is more closely connected with the functions of that agency than with those of the agency to which the request is made (section 16(1)(b) of the FOI Act). This ensures that a decision on the request is made by the most appropriate agency.
As the subject-matter of the documents relating to Part 1 and Part 3 which you have requested is more closely connected with the functions of the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) than with the functions of PM&C, your request has been partially transferred in to IPEA under section 16(1)(b) of the FOI Act.
IPEA will be in touch regarding the processing of Parts 1 and 3 of your request. Should you wish to contact them, please do so by emailing [email address]
Kind regards
Coordinator
