Dear Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,

I refer to a letter dated 18 April 2016 that ASIC has recently sent to the providers of life insurance products following a direction from the Assistant Treasurer to investigate the claims handling procedures across the industry following the CommInsure scandal.

In this letter the following is stated:

"We understand that APRA may be writing to you in relation to similar matters".

The document I seek such a document. The name and address of the party to whom the letter has been addressed can be redacted and I only need one example, not a redacted copy of every letter sent.

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney

Dear Australian Prudential Regulation Authority,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Australian Prudential Regulation Authority's handling of my FOI request 'Letter to Life Insurance Product Providers'.

The document that I seek is a copy of a letter sent by APRA and not copies of letters received by APRA in response to this letter.

The reasons provided in the decision letter would apply if the requested was for copies of letters received but not for a copy of a letter that had been sent and where the name of the addressee had been redacted.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/l...

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
