all Cost Benefit work related to Level 4 Lock Downs.
This work can be either;
Created for internal treasury purposes, or

I have decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act to extend the time limit
for deciding on your request by an additional 40 working days. The new due date for
responding to your request is 17 November 2021.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on
your request.
This extension will also apply to the time limit for transferring your request, should this
