Kia ora,
Hon Chris Bishop considers all correspondence to be important and
appreciates you taking the time to write.  As the Minister receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to personally
reply to each email. As such the following guidelines apply:

* Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible.  However, due to the high volume of invitations the Minister
receives, it can take us some time to process your invitation.  We
thank you for your patience. 
* Requests for official information (OIAs) will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media
team.
* 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.
* Latest information from the Beehive can be found here:

If you are a resident in the Hutt South electorate, please email
[2][email address] and one of his team will be in touch.

Dear Brendon,

 

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act
request dated the 13^th of February 2025.  You have requested the
following information:

 

" I would like to know why you are capping the number of state houses at
78,000 and do you accept that this will lead to more homelessness and push
up private sector rents?"

 

We received your request on 13/02/2025.  We will endeavour to respond to
your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than
13/03/2025, being 20 working days after the day your request was
received.  If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

Kind regards,
