Subject: Official Information request - Information to PM about TPP11

 

Dear David Parker,

 

The Prime Minister was reported on 8 November 2017 as saying, in relation
to TPP11, that "There are clear benefits for our [NZ] exporters in that
agreement". She was referring the TPP11 agreement.

 

I requested copies of the briefing material the Prime Minister relied on
in making that statement.   The Prime Minister's office transferred the
request to you as Minister of Trade and Export Growth, and changed the
request to general one about the benefits of CPTPP.  In response you sent
me links to two web sites.

 

While those web sites are of interest it is not the information I
initially sought, so I am making a fresh information request.

 

I am requesting all information (oral and written) and including copies of
any communication, memoranda, talking points, or briefing notes provided
to the Prime Minister by yourself or by your office, to support her
statement, as reported on 8 November 2017, in relation to TPP11 (as it was
on that date) that "There are clear benefits for our exporters in that
agreement."  Note this information request is about TPP11, not the CPTPP
that it evolved into.

 

I am a New Zealand citizen by birth, and reside in New Zealand.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Andrew Riddell
