(a)-(d)
Information relating to specific Act of Grace payments is subject to a range of personal information considerations concerning the individuals receiving the payment. These considerations differ from payment to payment. If the Leader of the Opposition is seeking information concerning Act of Grace payments made by a specific agency, he is encouraged to submit a Freedom of Information Application to that agency so that the consultation and decision making processes mandated by the
Freedom of Information Act 1992
can be followed.
