Subject: Official Information request - Information held by the Prime Minister comparing house building rate between 2017-2023 with 2008 - 2017

Dear Prime Minister,

Under the Official Information Act I request any information held by you or your office on the rate of house building in New Zealand 2017-2023 compared to 2008 - 2017.

In particular I am interested in any information you hold on:

* Whether between 31 December 2008 and 30 September 2017 an additional 156,300 private dwellings were added in New Zealand.
* Whether between 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2023 an additional 214,200 private dwellings were added.
* What explanations might exist for the acceleration in house building between 2017 and 2023

I am only seeking information held by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's office. This request explicitly does not seek any information held by other ministers or other parts of government.

Yours faithfully,

Harris Leigh
