Dear OIA Requests,
Thanks for your reply.

"The Ministry has not approved any applications for any retailer in New Zealand. Following the
formation of the new Government the Tobacco Regulatory Authority (TRA) suspended receiving
new applications for the Approved Smoked Tobacco Retailer scheme on 1 December 2023,
which was due to close on 3 December 2023."
I would like to clarify that my request was not asking for the number of "approved applications", but the number of "applications" to be an "Approved Smoked Tobacco Retailer" . ie the number of applications received as per:
