The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) does not hold information relating
to your request. I also believe the information you have requested is more closely connected
with the functions of the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).
I have decided to transfer your request in full to DIA under sections 14(b)(i) and 14(b)(ii) of the
Act. DIA has the usual timeframes under the Act from receipt of this transfer to make a decision
on your request.
Yours sincerely
