[FYI request #22570 email]
Dear Jay
Thank you for your email of 30 April 2023, to the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) requesting
copies of documents referred in writ en parliamentary question 5232 (2023).
This letter is to advise you that MPI is transferring your request in full to the office of Hon
Damien O’Connor, Minister for Biosecurity, under section 14(b)(ii) of the Official Information
Act 1982.
Your request is partially being transferred because the information you are seeking in WPQ
1363 regarding Auckland Airport, I believe, is more closely connected with the functions of
the Minister.
However, MPI wil respond to the second part for your request:
I also request any extracts from weekly reports prepared for Ministers from December and
January which reference MPI operations at airports.
Should you have any concerns with this transfer I would encourage you to raise these with
the Ministry for Primary Industries at [email address]. Alternatively, you
are advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman.
Contact details are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143 or at
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Michelle Morehu
Director, Government Services
Charles Fergusson Building, 34-38 Bowen Street
