Downloading the file using a web browser usually means the local/downloaded file has a date/time stamp of when it was retrieved.  By using the Linux command-line 'wget' command to download the file, it will preserve in the local/downloaded file the date and time stamp from the remote copy as provided by the Cabinet Office's web server.

Here's the series of commands that did just that:

I started with the "date" command to show what the date and time were when I started this process.  The next command, "wget http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/PMcombinedaprjunfinal.pdf" to retrieve the file.  And when the download had completed, the command: "ls -l PMcombinedaprjunfinal.pdf" shows the details of the file just downloaded.

So we can see that the file's date and time stamp on the Cabinet Office's web server is: 12:19am on 2nd April 2012.
