Decision
The Treasury holds no documents within the scope of your request. I am therefore refusing your request
under section 24A(1) of the FOI Act.
I arranged for officers in my division to search Treasury records for material relevant to your request. These
searches included contacting Treasury staff with relevant knowledge and searches of emails and the
Treasury’s file management systems. I am satisfied that no such documents exist.
Rights of Review
A statement setting out your rights of review in this matter is attached.
Yours sincerely
