Good morning Robin

Thank you for your Official Information Act request to the Ministry of Defence. You ask about a Defence building on Molesworth Street. I have taken this as referring to Freyberg House on Aitken Street.

The Ministry's property services in relation to Freyberg House are undertaken by the New Zealand Defence Force. As such, I am transferring your request to the NZDF for reply, pursuant to section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982.

Yours sincerely
