Kia ora Alex,

I refer to your request under the Official Information Act (the Act) dated 13 August for:

“all information relating to, or provided by, Thompson and Clark Private Investigations between the years 2014-2018 held by your agency."

The Ministry for the Environment has not previously engaged with Thompson and Clark Private Investigations. We are therefore refusing this request under section 18(e) of the Act: information requested does not exist.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602. If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact us.
