Dear Francis Cole
Official Information Act request relating to New Zealand’s delegation to London in May
2023
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), received
on 9 May 2023. You requested:
“I would like to make the following freedom of information requests
1. list of the entire delegation accompanying the prime minister to london in may
2023
2. list of the entire delegation accompanying the governor general to london in
may 2023
3. number of rooms booked at the trafalgar st james hotel for the delegations.”
I believe the part of your request for a list of the delegation that accompanied the Prime
Minister, Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to London is more closely connected to the functions of the
Prime Minister. Accordingly, I have decided to transfer this part of your request to the Prime
Minister under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act. The other parts of the request have not been
transferred, and I will respond in due course.
The Prime Minister has the usual timeframes under the Act from receipt of this transfer to
make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Amy Teague
