Dear Sebastian
Official Information Act request relating to National Security Group briefings and Cabinet
papers since January 2021
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 17 January 2022. You
requested:
“ On 27 January 2021 DPMC received an OIA request (REF OIA-2020/21-0332) for a list of
items produced by the National Security Group for ministers, and Cabinet papers drafted
by this group, for the period September 2017 up to the date of the request.
DPMC’s response was published on the DPMC website last August:

prepared-pm-ministers-since-sept2017.pdf
I would like to like to make a request for the same information that was supplied for this
request, but for the period since 27 January 2021. ”
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on your request by
an additional 20 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be
15 March 2022.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on your request.
Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3)
of the Act.
Yours sincerely
