However, more time is required to prepare the response for release. We expect to be able to
provide you with the final documentation no later than 4 March 2025. We apologise for any
inconvenience that this may cause.
For your reference, some information wil be withheld under section 9 of the Official

In making my decision, I have considered the public interest considerations in section 9(1) of
the Official Information Act and determined there are no public interests that outweigh the
grounds for withholding.
