Kia ora James,

 

Thank you for your email of 21 May 2023 to the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official

21st of May 2023 attributing a rise in gang member numbers to the number
of 501 deportees, please provide the number of people deported from

I am writing to advise you that MBIE has transferred your request to New

In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the Act to
transfer your request.
