Jessica, I know you're deeply involved in this, so perhaps we can start with you.
12:09
Sure.

I had one that was killed and then resurrected.
12:13
So that was a fun saga for me personally.

It's a big FOI request that had been going on for years about Greenbelt requests, and it was initially denied under the legal changes.
12:23
But then the government reconsidered.
12:24
After they passed it, they took a break from actually responding to FOI requests and put out some guidance to civil servants.

Do you think that this is something that's going to be a problem for him going forward? Or will he rebound like he did after the Green Belt?
