Question:

461.

Written answers

The number of Freedom of Information requests received so far in 2017 is 87. In a small number of cases a decision would issue shortly after the due date for response.

A time extension of up to 4 weeks under Section 14(1) of the FOI Act 2014 was sought in only 1 case due to volume of records involved.
