Dear Anna
Thank you for your email of 25 November 2024 requesting the following:
1) Al correspondence between your office and MPI regarding live export of animals.
2) Al correspondence between your office and the Prime Minister's office
I wil not be able to respond within the timeframe set out in the Official Information Act 1982
(OIA) in accordance with sections 15A(1)(a) as your request necessitates a search through a
large quantity of information and meeting the normal 20-working-day time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of my office.
I wil reply to your request by no later than 13 February 2025, earlier if possible.
You are advised of your right to raise any concerns with the Office of the Ombudsman. You
can contact the Ombudsman at
