Update on the refugee quota for the year which we're already well into and the decision should probably have been made by now. (iii)

M Stephens made this Official Information request to Minister of Immigration

The request was partially successful.

From: M Stephens

Dear Minister of Immigration,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act:

* all departmental advice to the Minister of Immigration between
April 1 and August 31 2015 on New Zealand’s Refugee Resettlement
Quota.

If any documents that fall within the scope of my request are to be
withheld in full then I would like the titles and dates of those
documents to be released. I would also prefer that if my request is
expansive enough to trigger a s18(f) refusal that I can be provided
with the titles/dates of the relevant documents so that I can focus
my request forwards particular documents.

Yours faithfully,

M Stephens

Dear M Woodhouse,

This request is now overdue. I'd prefer not to have to make yet another complaint to the Ombudsman, but will have to do so if the request is not answered by the end of this week.
