Kia ora,

Thank you for your email of 16th September in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as follows:

Kia ora,

 

We are reaching out to seek clarification on your OIA.

 

You asked “Please supply all reports, briefings, white papers,
notes/emails and Cabinet minutes which refer to both 'digital identity'
and 'biometric' data, emailed/received by the Hon David Clark from both
internal agencies, and external contracted/non-contracted
organisations/institutions during 2022.”

 

Do you request documents that refer to both ‘digital identity’ and
‘biometric’ data in the same document? Or documents that refer to either
‘digital identity’ or ‘biometric’ data?

 

Please advise on the above as soon as possible and we will compile an
answer to your request.

 

Many thanks,

Sarah

Communications portfolio

I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on this request. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be 21st November. This is due to extensive research required (OIA s15A(1)(a)).

Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3) of the Act.

Kind regards,

Office of Hon Dr David Clark
