Dear Mr Selwyn,
In responding to your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request of
20 October 2015. Some of the subjects of your request have asked to know
the name of the OIA requester and their contact details.
I am obligated to provide them with your name and am informing you of
this. Should you object to me releasing your name please email me by 25
November 2015.
I can then consider your objection and whether to withhold your name on
standard Official Information Act grounds.
There would need a good reason to withhold your name.
In regard to your contact details, I will withhold your details unless you
agreed for me to release them by 25 November 2015.
Kind regards,
Alex
