We refer to your official information request of 8 February 2022.

The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day you submitted your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision to 17 May 2022.

This extension is required because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

This extension is longer than what we would usually apply to information requests, and this is because we have taken potential COVID-19 disruptions into consideration. We will of course provide you with a response before 17 May if practicable.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact [GCSB request email]

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
