Dear Mr Lee,

Your request made on 29 December 2022 under the Code on Access to
Information seeking the information regarding the court public gallery
access was received.

Please be advised that this department provides secretariat support
to advisory bodies that advise on matters relating to the salaries and
conditions of service for various segments of the public service and
therefore does not have the information requested. You may wish to
approach the Judiciary for assistance.
