FOI Delegations - 2016
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Department of Education, Skills and Employment 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 Employment,
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
