Dear Concerned

As the FOI regime is focussed on 'documents' rather than just information, can you clarify if you are seeking access to the relevant letters of formal warnings and infringement notices referred to in regulatory update 220? These letters will contain that information.

Dear FOI,

Yes please . I wish to know the name/s of the companies that were involved in this action.
To be honest it seems that you are being deliberately slow and obstructive in providing this information.
