Bill 2022.
I am not seeking drafts of the above documents.
The FOI Act provides that we have 30 days to process the request. This period may be extended if we need
to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
We will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the amount of any such charge as soon
as possible.
We make the following assumptions that affect the scope of the request. These are set out below.
It is our usual practice:

•
only the final version of a document will be considered within scope.
