Advice to Minister on Refugee Quota

M Stephens made this Official Information request to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

The request was partially successful.

From: M Stephens

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act:

* all departmental advice to the Minister of Foreign Affairs between January 2009 and August 2013 on New Zealand’s Refugee Resettlement Quota.

If any documents that fall within the scope of my request are to be
withheld in full then I would like the titles and dates of those
documents to be released. I would also prefer that if my request is
expansive enough to trigger a s18(f) refusal that I can be provided
with the titles/dates of the relevant documents so that I can focus
my request forwards particular documents.

Yours faithfully,

M Stephens

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

Ten days have passed since the requested extension of this OIA. A follow up one week ago received no reply. I'd prefer to not bother the Ombudsman's office with this, but see no other recourse if it is not actioned before the end of the week.

Yours faithfully,

M Stephens
