FOI Request: LEX 12018

 

Dear James Smith,

 

Thank you for your email dated 31 January 2025, seeking access to
documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982. 

 

The purpose of this email is to advise you that your request has been
transferred to the Office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Foreign
Minister’s Office) under section 16 of the FOI Act. 

 

The request has been transferred because the subject-matter of the
document is more closely connected with the functions of the Foreign
Minister’s Office.  We note you have indicated the request is for the
Foreign Minister.   

 

We have notified the Foreign Minister’s Office of the terms of your
request and the date it was made and have forwarded your original request
to the Foreign Minister’s Office.    

 

Further correspondence will follow.  

 

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to
contact us by return e-mail at [1][Minister for Foreign Affairs request email]  

 

Regards,

Aaron

Good afternoon James Smith

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Noting you addressed your request to the Foreign Minister, and you
requested access to documents held by the Foreign Minister, under section
16 of the FOI Act your request was transferred because the subject-matter
of the document is more closely connected with the functions of the
Foreign Minister’s Office.

 

The department continues to process your similar request (LEX 12017) for
documents held by the department.

 

Should you have any further questions or require further clarification,
please respond to this email.

 

Regards,

Aaron
