Tēnā koe Andrew 
Thank you for your email of 9 September 2025 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment 
(MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
Thank you for your response to my OIA. Could you please clarify how the summary of "feedback, 
which outlines the key themes from agencies and external consultations" was collected? If a form of 
Generative AI, e.g. a Large Language Model (LLM) such as Copilot, was utilised, please provide a verbatim 
chat transcript (prompt and response) that generated the summary.
I am writing to advise you that MBIE will provide a response but needs to extend the time available to 
answer your request. MBIE’s response will be sent to you no later than 31 October 2025.
The reason for the extension is that your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of 
information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our decision to extend the 
time limit. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or 
freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
Simon Rae
Policy Director, Technology and Innovation
Labour, Science and Enterprise, MBIE
