Advice and correspondence on family link criteria in refugee quota
B Knight made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
The request was successful.
From: B Knight
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
I would like to request under the Official Information Act:
* All internal correspondence between January 1, 2009 and February 20, 2017 on the family link criteria component of the regional allocations of New Zealand's refugee resettlement quota.
* All documents containing advice between January 1, 2009 and February 20, 2017 to (a) the Minister of Foreign Affairs & Trade, and (b) the Minister of Immigration, and their respective offices, on the family link criteria component of the regional allocations of New Zealand's refugee resettlement quota.
I understand that this request covers a large time period, but hope that the specificity of the request reduces the burden on your department. If this triggers a s18(f) refusal, please list the names and dates of documents to allow me to narrow down further requests.
Yours faithfully,
B Knight
