- The information you have requested is available on our website. Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. If, however, you do not have internet access to obtain this information from the website, then please contact me again and I will send you a paper copy. In this section of our website you will find the names of all our Board members and be able to access their registers of interest, which are kept updated by Board members as interests change as well as being reviewed each March.
