Dear Colleen Bain

Thank you for your request for information below. The Ministry will
consider and respond to your request in accordance with the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act).

 

The Act allows up to 20 working days for a response, making 13 February
2020 the latest date for our response to you.  If more than 20 working
days are needed due to the potential workload involved in answering your
request, we will notify you accordingly.

 

Under the Official Information Act (see definition of “working day” in
section 2), the period between 25 December – 15 January are not considered
to be “working days” for the purposes of calculating the 20 working day
timeframe for proving a response under the Act. 

 

Please note, the Ministry may publicly release on our website the response
to your request five days after you have received it. Any personal
information will be removed.

 

In the interim, if you have any questions about your request, please email
