Tēnā koe Jem

Thank you for your official information request to Hon Julie Anne Genter, Minister for Women, Associate Minister of Health and Associate Minister of Transport.

I just want to clarify your request; are you after any advice Minister Genter received regarding AIT scanners, in her capacity as Minister for Women, Associate Minister of Health, or Associate Minister of Transport? If you want advice Minister Genter received as Associate Minister of Transport, are you particularly after any advice on the introduction of the scanners and particularly anything regarding the consultation requirements?

You may be aware that Minister Genter briefly held responsibility for aviation security as part of her role as Associate Minister of Transport. During that time the office may have received some information relating to the scanners; however, if you are after advice regarding the process for introducing the scanners, Minister Twyford or the CAA may have more relevant information.

If you can let me know which you prefer, we can go from there. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Ngā mihi,
Olivia.

Also, in terms of timing of our response to your request, we will endeavour to respond to your request by Tuesday 25 September, being 20 working days from receipt of your original request. If an extension to this timeframe is required, we will notify you accordingly.

This email is to notify you that the timeframe for responding to your request is being extended, pursuant to section 15A(1)(b) of the Official Information Act. This is because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response to your request cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

An additional 20 working days are required to respond to your request, therefore you can expect to receive a response by 23 October 2018. However, we will endeavour to respond to you sooner. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

You have the right under section 28(3) of the Official Information Act to make a complaint about the extension to the Ombudsman, whose address for contact purposes is:

The Ombudsman
Office of the Ombudsmen
P O Box 10-152
WELLINGTON

Ngā mihi,
Olivia.
