Kia ora Alex

Thank you for the request you made on 12 November 2021 under the Official Information Act. The Ministry would like to clarify the time period for the information you're interested in. In April 2018, the Government announced the decision to end offshore oil and gas exploration and also committed to carry out another three rounds of onshore Block Offer. Are you interested in all applicable information since the offshore ban was announced or advice and communications of any plans to set end date for oil and gas exploration and extraction around COP26?

Kind regards

Subject: Official Information request - Plans to set an end date for oil and gas exploration and extraction

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

Last night at the climate talks in Glasgow the New Zealand government joined an international alliance to end fossil fuels ("COP26: New alliance commits to setting end date for oil and gas extraction", RNZ, 12 November 2021). I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* all advice and communications on plans to set an end date for oil and gas exploration and extraction.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
