Subject: Official Information request - Use of examination powers
 
Dear Privacy Commissioner,
 
Section 91 of the Privacy Act 1993 grants search powers to the Privacy
Commissioner, allowing them to obtain information and documents and
examine people under oath. I would like to request the following
information under the OIA:
 
* How many times in the last five years did the Commissioner exercise
their powers under section 91(1) to examine people under oath?
* How many times in the last five years did the Commissioner exercise
their powers under section 91(4) to obtain information or documents?
 
I would like a breakdown by year if available. In the unlikely event that
a five year period would require substantial collation and research, I am
willing to negotiate a shorter one.
 
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this
request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.
 
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Alex Harris
