Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

Under the Official Information Act I would like to make a request for the following information/documents:

1) Logs and/or Documentation regarding the full or partial distribution of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) to other Government departments and/or Members of Parliament & their officials/employees. (For clarification: as the actual document seems to be tightly controlled, I am of the belief that records would be kept of the dissemination of the document within MFAT and other Ministries, it is these records that I am requesting).
2) A list of submissions and requests regarding the TPPA from MPs, their officials/employees or other Ministries with the following information:
* Date
* Person making the enquiry
* Subject of enquiry

While I accept that requesting the TPPA document itself is covered under 6(e)(vi) of the Official Information Act, I do not believe requesting information of who has seen the document and/or provided feedback to MFAT would prejudice trade negotiations.

I understand a need to protect individual identities so where needed to withhold information under 9(2)(a) of the OIA, I would like you to ensure that the name of the organisation (and if possible the department within that organisation) that the person is representing be included.

I can affirm that I have a New Zealand Citizen, and can verify this if needed outside of the FYI.org.nz site.

Yours faithfully,

Nigel Jones
