I do not object. I do not have a role in deciding what is released under freedom of information legislation. The way that it works is that there is a designated official in each Department who decides whether or not something is released. If it is not released, the person seeking the information can appeal to the Information Commissioner, and occasionally they do. I do not sign off on freedom of information requests; it is not set up like that.
