Dear Mr Lee,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 12 May 2020 requesting under the Official

This letter is to advise you that your request has been transferred to the
Office of the Attorney General.

organisation or Minister of the Crown.

 

I trust you find the information helpful.  You have the right to seek an
investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or freephone 0800 802 602.
