Thank you for your OIA request of 4 March 2021. You requested the
following:

“Upon taking office for the second term, during an interview on the
Breakfast programme, there was a question asked about what changes Labour
would be making to the ACC.

The reply from yourself went to the effect of:

"We acknowledge there are things that need changing and attention but
those changes won't be happening this term"

1/ Please elaborate on what specific changes you were thinking of during
that interview

2/ Please disclose what changes and attention is required to be made to
the ACC

3/ What process have you used to identify the changes you acknowledged,
arent required hastily”

 

For a request to be valid, as defined by section 12(2) of the Act, the
information sought must be specified with due particularity. This means
that the agency must be reasonably able to identify what information is
being requested.

 

As the Prime Minister has had many interviews with Mike Hosking on the
Breakfast Show, we are unsure which specific interview you are referring
to in your request. To assist us in preparing a response to your request,
would you please clarify the date of the interview you are referring to?

 

We would appreciate if you can please provide us with a clarification as
soon as reasonably practical, by 18 March 2021.
