On 18 June 2025, we advised that MBIE needed to extend the time available to answer your request
as a large quantity of information was in scope of your request and meeting the original time limit
would unreasonably interfere with our operations.

However, it wil take us some time to process. We wil send you the information as soon as it is ready
and without undue delay.

- 6(a), as information would be likely to prejudice the security or defence of New Zealand or
the international relations of the Government of New Zealand.
- 6(c), as making this information available would be likely to prejudice the maintenance of the
law, including the prevention, investigation, and detection of offences, and the right to a fair
trial.
- 18(e), as the information requested does not exist.
- 18(f), because the information requested cannot be made available without substantial
collation or research.
-
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
