Dear Shane,
Official Information Act request
Thank you for your email of 7 July 2020 requesting, under the Official Information Act
1982 (the Act), the following information:
▪
Please provide copies of all Memorandum of Understanding (MoU’s) signed in
the last five years related to the sharing of data to organisations outside your
organisation.
The information you have requested has been appended to this response. Some of
this information has been redacted under section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act
1982 to protect the privacy of individuals or staff being referred to.
MoU’s regarding the supply of data to Stats NZ by other organisations, and MoUs
regarding the supply of published statistical products by Stats NZ to other
organisations have been treated as out of scope of this request, and are not included
in this response.
Stats NZ also supplies microdata to researchers and other organisations through the
Data Lab. For more information, see the
list of microdata research projects here, and
collection of research outputs here.
Stats NZ intends to publish its response to your request made under the Act on the
Stats NZ website. This letter, with your personal details removed, will be published in
its entirety. Consistent with the Act, publishing responses increases the availability of
information to the public and helps promote balanced public debate.
Yours sincerely,
Judith Turner
Manager – Office of the Chief Executive
Stats NZ
