Subject: Official Information request - OIA responses

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
