I request this under the OIA 1982 and if there are in-house lawyers employed by our government departments, I would like to highlight that the client is indeed the Public.

In-house lawyers in government departments have a duty to act in the public interest and provide legal advice that supports the departments' functions and responsibilities to the public.

I would not expect any of my requested information to be withheld under the "legal privilege" section of the Act.

Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome
