Subject: Official Information Act request - Advice on increased refugee quota

Dear Minister of Immigration,

On Monday 7 September 2015 the government announced a one-off intake of 750 refugees over three years, 150 of them from within the existing quota. I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* all advice on this refugee intake. I'm particularly interested in how the number was set, as well as the alternative options considered, and whether a permanent increase in the refugee quota was among them.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
