Deletion of exempt matter or irrelevant material

25. Deletion of exempt matter or irrelevant material





Where-

   (a)  a decision is made not to grant a request for access to a document on
        the ground that it is an exempt document or that to grant the request
        would disclose information that would reasonably be regarded as
        irrelevant to the request;

   (b)  it is practicable for the agency or Minister to grant access to a copy
        of the document with such deletions as to make the copy not an exempt
        document or a document that would not disclose such information (as
        the case requires); and

   (c)  it appears from the request, or the applicant subsequently indicates,
        that the applicant would wish to have access to such a copy-

the agency or Minister shall grant access to such a copy of the document.
