Mr T. Baker left an annotation ()
Information was provided by email as there was an "administrative error" that meant no response was provided within statutory 20 day requirement, and I followed up outside of the system. No further minutes or documentation was available, other than that released on August 11th.
Costs incurred by the group from inception to date of my request was $43,540, including $20,150 for Sir David Skegg.
