Advice on Refugee Quota - updated to October 2013
M Stephens made this Official Information request to Minister of Immigration
The request was partially successful.
From: M Stephens
Dear Minister of Immigration,
I would like to request under the Official Information Act:
* all departmental advice to the Minister of Immigration between June 10 and October 8 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
