Click on the name of the section to expand it. If there is a response template that you can use to respond to the case, click on the Download Response Template link. Make any amendments you require to the document and then either Drag and Drop or attach a new file in the Upload Response Document section.
In the With Minister section, click on the Sent to Responding Minister checkbox and enter the date the document is sent to the Minister for signing.
There are now several options to send and record the case response for Cabinet Committee cases.

- Send a response via email outside of eCase. The response details are logged and can be viewed on the Case Details page under the Correspondence section. Attach the email to the case using CaseReferenceNumber@bis.ecase.gsi.gov.uk, for example MC2017/00005@bis.ecase.gsi.gov.uk or FOI2017/01246@bis.ecase.gsi.gov.uk.
