Answer

I regularly receive advice from my staff and officials concerning the sequencing and scheduling of work across my portfolios. That advice relates to ongoing decision-making and matters that are under active consideration, and I do not consider it consistent with the public interest to disclose this as it would prejudice the orderly and effective conduct of government decision making processes.
