Dear Liam Collett,
Notwithstanding that your office missed the 10 working day deadline to make the transfer to the Ministry of Education, I am still yet to receive a response to my OIA request. Please can I have a response to my request from either the office or the Ministry asap.
Yours gratefully,
Michael Riconosciuto

Asking a Minister what advice he has received looks more like a request the Minister should answer, not transfer it elsewhere. Transferring the request introduces delays in responding.
