possible, and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.

with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
o If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media

o If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.

To the Minster of Housing,
This transfer of my information request to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is surprising given it is the Minister who set up the advisory group that is the subject of my request.
It looks like this transfer is for the purpose of delaying any response, and perhaps also, to limit ministerial accountability.
Yours in disgust,
Andrew Riddell
