Dear Department for the Economy (Northern Ireland),

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Department for the Economy (Northern Ireland)'s handling of my FOI request 'To seek answers to options papers'.

I feel the department of Economy are withholding this information from the public in the view to protect themselves from public scrutiny and the minister in particular. Not acceptable regardless of Covid or not, these papers need to be public

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/t...

Yours faithfully,

Brian donaldson
