    Dear Nicola Willis,
I note that you are not obligated to report your OIA statistics to the Public Service Commission.
As the Official Information Act is a very important vehicle for holding Ministers and the Government to account, I think it is important that you and your office share statistics on your OIA requests.
Could you please provide the following information:
- How many OIA requests have you received since you took Office?
- How many OIA requests have you responded to by providing information in full?
- How many OIA requests have you refused in full?
- For each request that has been refused in full, which ground of the Official Information Act was used?
Yours faithfully,
Grace Williams
