But my understanding is that you have a protocol in place now, and thus you understand the parameters you're working inside. So when you're asking for information, you don't actually ask for cabinet documents, because you know that you're not going to get them.
Was this troubling for you and for your department? Did you agree with them wholeheartedly and say: “Okay, you're absolutely right; we're not entitled to them, we're not going to...”? Or is there a remedy that you're seeking to try to get hold of information that you didn't get?
