million in funding.

Regarding
parts three and four of your request, I am releasing three documents to you as

names, contact details and signatures of former and non-Ministry staff under section 9(2)(a) of the
Act, to protect the privacy of natural persons.
As required under section 9(1) of the Act, I have considered the public interest in releasing the
