Dear Mr Brewer
Thank you for your email of 14 April 2021 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE),
requesting the following under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
“Please release any and all Statutory Declarations made to the Ministry in relation to Managed Spectrum
Park (MSP) radio spectrum for the years 2014-2021 inclusive.”
MBIE can advise that 151 documents have been identified that fall within scope of your request. These documents
have been released to you with some information withheld under the following sections of the Act, as outlined in
the attached document annexes:
9(2)(b)(ii) to protect information where the making available of the information would be likely
unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the
information
In terms of section 9(1) of the Act, I am satisfied that, in the circumstances, the withholding of this information is
not outweighed by other considerations that render it desirable to make the information available in the public
interest.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of my decision to withhold information
relating to this request, in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The relevant details can be found at:
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Yours sincerely
Len Starling
