Dear Mr Le Brun

On behalf of Hon Michael Woodhouse, Minister of Police, I acknowledge your request under the Official Information Act 1982 regarding:

Para 89 of the Law Commission report 122 "Controlling and regulating drugs - Misuse of Drugs Act 1975" has been implemented by the NZ police, bringing us in line with similar progressive policy implemented in several Australian states. Below is a link to the report and the paragraph in question quoted.

Copies of any internal discussion documents, including emails relating to this matter explaining why this recommendation of the report was or was not implemented.

Your request was received in this office on 15 January 2015.

The information you have requested is not held by this office, but is likely to be held by the New Zealand Police.

Therefore I am transferring your request under section 14(b)(i) of the Official Information Act 1982 to the New Zealand Police for consideration.

Yours sincerely

Office of Hon Michael Woodhouse │ Minister of Police │ Parliament Buildings │ Wellington
