Subject: Official Information request - Exact Provisions Within Health & Safety Law

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Last week I made a request under the OIA and still haven't received an acknowledgement of that request so I've decided to ask again through this forum.

MSD refers to Health & Safety law in demanding ID from clients before entering any MSD premises. Can you please tell me the exact provision under Health & Safety law that the department is using to justify this claim ? I do not want a generic copy and paste of the law or just a reference to the law in general but want to know the EXACT provision/s that the department is using.

MSD refers to the fact that "Although we are a public service we operate in private buildings" as another justification for demanding ID from clients before they enter any MSD premises. Can you please tell me the exact law and provision they are using to justify this claim ?

Yours faithfully,

Robert Stewart

Dear Mr Stewart

Thank you for your further email. I can advise that the Ministry does not interpret your request to fall within the scope of the Official Information Act as the provisions within Health and Safety law are not Official Information. However, the Ministry will be providing you with a letter responding to your questions. You can expect to receive this by the end of the week.

Yours sincerely
