Thank you for your email of 29 October 2024 to my Of ice requesting, under the Of icial
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
I request any written advice you received related to fuel in October 2024.
One
briefing, [Title Withheld], has been identified within the scope of your request
.
This briefing and its title are being withheld under 9(2)(f)(iv).
9(2)(f)(iv)
to maintain the constitutional conventions for the time being which
protect the confidentiality of advice tendered by Ministers of the
Crown and officials;
I do not consider that the withholding of information is outweighed by public interest
considerations in making the information available.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
