FOI Delegations - 2016
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet as part of a batch sent to 125 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
Can I please have a copy of the current FOI Delegations, and any related directions issued in respect of FOI.
I believe this information could be considered "operational information" so I therefore request release under the IPS, or under Administrative Access.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

Dear FOI,
Thanks for your email. I can't see where specifically the list of authorisations are (I note that all decision makers need to be authorised by the Secretary). I'm looking for that list, is it on your site?
Yours sincerely,
