Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

I refer to my OIA request OIA20-0450

I requested "A copy of the latest contract and its schedules and, if different the contract which was current in August 2017."

I was referred to
https://fyi.org.nz/request/12557/respons...

I note that this agreement was dated 2010 , could you please confirm that this was the current contract from 2010 until replaced with the new contract signed 13 July 2020

In the 2010 version it states

APPLICATIONS FOR SEARCH WARRANT(S)
Any search warrant applied for by an Inspector in relation to a complaint under the terms of this Agreement must first have that application approved by the National Chief inspector or any person delegated by the National Chief inspector.

DECISION TO LAY INFORMATION(S)
In the event that an Inspector decides to lay information(s) in relation to a complaint under
the terms of this Agreement, he or she must first advise the Technical Liaison (or person
delegated by the Technical Liaison) and provide details of the information(s) including a
copy of the draft information(s) and any supporting documents.

these criteria do not appear in the new funding agreement .

could you please advise what criteria exist for search warrants under the new agreement and the criteria for laying information's

could you also please confirm that these criteria are enforceable up to and including the date when the new agreement was signed

Yours faithfully,

Grace Haden
