Advice to Minister on refugee quota

M Stephens made this Official Information request to Minister of Immigration

The request was partially successful.

From: M Stephens

Dear Minister of Immigration,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act:

* all departmental advice to the Minister of Immigration between
September 16, 2015 and July 12 2016 on New Zealand’s Refugee
Resettlement Quota.

If any documents that fall within the scope of my request are to be
withheld in full then I would like the titles and dates of those
documents to be released. I would also prefer that if my request is
expansive enough to trigger a s18(f) refusal that I can be provided
with the titles/dates of the relevant documents so that I can focus
my request forwards particular documents.

Yours faithfully,

M Stephens
