From: Lance D. Lavery

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I request the following information under the Official Information Act 1982.

The report prepared by the Attorney-General under section 7 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 in respect of the Policing Amendment Bill (No. 268-1), if such a report has been prepared.

If no section 7 report has been prepared, I request confirmation of that fact and any advice provided to the Attorney-General regarding the Bill’s consistency with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.

I request that this information be provided in electronic form where possible.

I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as required by section 15 of the Act.

Yours faithfully,

Lance D. Lavery
