Dear Ministry of Defence,

I made a request under the official information act to the Ministry on February 10 this year, specifically relating to the work undertaken by the Ministry on Pay and Employment Equity issues.

I still have not received a response over 6 months after I sent the request; by law, under all circumstances, you should have responded by now.

I ask that you follow up on the original request as soon as possible.

The request is as follows:

"I request under the Official Information Act all relevant
information on steps taken, including plans, programmes and
reports, by the Ministry of Defence to implement the
recommendations of its Pay and Employment Equity Response plan,
including the original response plan.

Further, I also request all relevant information on steps taken
since June 2012 to address gender disparities in starting salaries
and the overall gender pay gap in the Ministry."

Yours faithfully,

Alasdair Keating

Good afternoon Mr Keating

Unfortunately the Ministry has no record of the Official Information Act request you mention from February. Please note that we acknowledge all OIA requests within a few days of receipt, and would encourage you to get in touch with us if you do not hear from us shortly after making a request.

We have logged your request as received today and will provide a response as soon as possible, and certainly no later than the timeline required under the Act.

Yours sincerely

Adrian MacGregor
Senior Advisor, Ministry of Defence
