In March 2020, the Ministers were asked a range of questions about their handling of the COVID19 pandemic.
The Ministers provided the Applicant with some information and they gave him notice that other information was not held. The Ministers also advised him that some information was already published.
The Commissioner investigated and found that the Ministers had partially breached FOISA in responding to the request by initially failing to notify the Applicant that they did not hold some of the information he had requested.
