Dear Official Correspondence,
Thank you for you response to my OIA. I note that in your Attachment 2 (P2, P7, P11) you have redacted all cost estimate information quoting exemption under 9.2.g (i) of the Act. That reason relates to ' free and frank expression of opinions'. This exemption does not cover cost estimates and therefore I dispute that you have the right to redact it, therefore, under the original OIA timescale please provide an unredacted copy of that report.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Young
