Dear Partick

Only information held by David in his official capacity as a Minister of the Crown is official information, and this does not include information that would need to be created to respond to a request, such as generating an opinion or explanation.

In his role as Associate Minister of Education, I can advise the Minister does not hold the information you have requested.

I am therefore refusing your request under section 18(g) of the Act, as the information requested is not held.

Kind regards,

Liam Collett| Private Secretary Executive Support
