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
[1][email address]  

Kind regards

Coordinator
