Minister disclosure logs – information from freedom of information (FOI) requests

Our disclosure log is a record of information that the Minister has released in response to a formal freedom of information application from an individual or organisation that the Minister considers to be of interest to other members of the public. This is in line with the Freedom of Information Act 1991. Usually only non-personal information is included on the log. Information may relate to other portfolios the Minister is responsible for, such as higher education and skills.

The log lists the information requested relevant to a specific time and may not contain the most up-to-date version of the information.
