Kia ora Andrew,

 

Thank you for your request.

 

I’m just getting in touch to confirm if your request refers to ‘Cabinet’,
to mean Cabinet Ministers?

 

Or were you referring to to the Cabinet Office, which sits within DPMC?

 

Confirming this will help us determine how to best progress a resposne to
your request.

 

Ngā mihi

 

Matthew

Kia ora Andrew,

Thank you for your email. We can confirm that your OIA has not been split or transferred to other agencies as we interpreted your request as asking specifically for correspondence between the Cabinet Office and the Ministers/agencies that you had listed. However this does not confirm that there are no records of correspondence found between any of the parties listed as the Cabinet Office does not hold this information. We recommend contacting the relevant Minister's offices and/or agencies directly to seek this information.

Hei konā mai,

Charlotte
