[FYI request #14407 email]
Tēnā koe Bates,
Thank you for your email of 6 January 2021 to the Ministry of Education requesting the
following information:
“…Please send me the minutes of all meetings of this Committee. [Advisory
Committee for Regulation Review Early Childhood Education]”
Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
The Ministry needs to extend the timeframe of our response to your request, pursuant to
section 15A(1)(b) of the Act, as consultations necessary to make a decision on the request
are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit. For this reason, you can expect to receive a response to your request by
19
February 2021. I am hopeful that we will be able to respond to you before this date.
Please be advised that should you have any concerns regarding this extension you have the
right to ask an Ombudsman to investigate our decision to extend the timeframe. You can do
this by writing to
[email address] or Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box
10152, Wellington 6143.
Nāku noa, nā
