Dear Simon Watts,

Since January 2024, how many OIA requests have you received?

How many OIAs have you responded to after the statutory due date? This does not include where extensions were sought, but does include where extension deadlines were missed.

How many OIAs have you extended?

What processes does your office have to track and monitor OIAs? How do you ensure your office complies with its legislative requirements on OIAs?

Yours faithfully,

James Webb

Thank you for contacting Hon Simon Watts, Member of Parliament for North
Shore, Minister of Climate Change, Minister for Energy, Minister of Local
Government and Minister of Revenue.

The Minister considers all correspondence important but as he receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to provide a
personal response.

Please note the following guidelines:

·        If you are a North Shore constituent contacting the Minister
about an issue, then your email will be passed to his electorate office.

·        Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be
considered and a staff member will be in touch with you in due course.

·        Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include a
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.

·        If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you.

Thank you once again for taking the time to write; it is very much
appreciated.

The Office of Hon Simon Watts
