Dear Luke

 

OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT REQUEST

 

Thank you for your email received on 6 April, in which you requested the
following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (“Act”): 

 

“I am requesting all video footage of Pike River Mine (including, but not
limited to CCTV, Bore Hole Cameras, Robot Video Footage)”

 

I am of the opinion that the information to which your request relates is
more closely connected with the functions of Solid Energy than with the
Office of the Acting Minister of Conservation for Pike River Issues.

 

Accordingly, pursuant to section 14 of the Act, I have transferred your
request to the Chair of Solid Energy, Andy Coupe, for action.  Mr Coupe
has 20 working days from the date of receipt of the transfer to make a
decision on your request.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

K McGillivray | Office of Hon Dr Nick Smith

Minister for Building and Construction | Minister for the Environment | MP
for Nelson

Parliament Buildings | Wellington 6160 | New Zealand
