2.  How many of those have or are being investigated by the (MBIE) Labour Inspectorate, since 2015.
3.  Names of vessels investigated.
4.  How many were involved in the payment of the $800,000 in back paid wages mentioned by MBIE (DoL's) Stu Lumsden on Radio NZ.
5.  The total amount of back wages paid by each vessel.
6.  Number of Japan Tuna Co vessels fishing in NZ waters in 2015/2016;

8. Whether the MBIE (Labour Inspectorate) was investigating wages of other Japan Tuna Co vessels.  If not why not?

Yours faithfully,
