Kia Ora George,

 

We have not had a response from you to our email of 10 November 2023,
requesting some clarification on your request concerning external
advisors.

 

Unfortunately at this stage, we are likely going to have to refuse your
request under section 18(f) of the Official Information Act 1982 as the
information will likely require substantial collation or research.

We are happy to assist you to clarify and/or refine your request to enable
you to receive the information you require.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Ngâ mihi
