Good morning Natasha,

Thank you for your request. The Ministry of Justice does not hold the information you seek, so I have transferred your request to the New Zealand Police. Officials from that department will respond in due time.

Subject: Official Information Act request - Figures about the witness protection programme

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I am writing to request the following information about the witness protection programme:

- How much did the programme cost to run in 2015?
- How many people were directly affected by the programme?
- Does the Ministry of Justice give people, when occasion presents itself, new identities?
- Does this extend to new homes or jobs?
- If so, how many people have been given these new identities?
- What other alternatives does the programme offer?

Yours faithfully,

Natasha Frost
