Response
I enclose a copy of the information you requested. This includes Ministerial briefing for the event, the speech, and 11 email chains related to organising the event.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exemption under section s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA applies to that information.
An exemption under section s.38(1)(b) (personal information) of FOISA has been applied to names, email addresses, contact numbers, and other identifying personal information where necessary.
