Kia ora AP,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 14/04/2026 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
 
I see that the minute ECO-25-MIN-0088 relating to the Cabinet paper
Science, Innovation and Technology Reforms (considered on 4 June 2025) is
available on your website. However I cannot find the full Cabinet paper. I
also note guidance CO (23) 4: Proactive Release of Cabinet Material:
Updated Requirements, which states that Cabinet papers and minutes should
be proactively released within 30 business days of decisions, unless there
is good reason not to publish all or part of the material.

I would like to request (a) the full Cabinet paper Science, Innovation and
Technology Reforms if it is not available on the MBIE website already and
(b) if the paper is not already available, the good reason why it was not
proactively released within 30 business days of decisions.
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 13/05/2026, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe. If you have any enquiries
regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
[1][MBIE request email].
