Good afternoon P Robins,

 

Regarding your email dated 27 October (office reference OIA071), the
Minister’s decision to redact the name of an individual mentioned in a
text from a representative of Groundswell was based on privacy
considerations.

 

The individual in question was not directly involved in the communication.
It was deemed appropriate to redact their name to protect their privacy,
which is not outweighed by the public interest.

 

Kind regards,
