Dear George Morrison
Official Information Act request relating to Rob Fyfe’s involvement in COVID-19 business
recovery since 27 June 2020
Thank you for your Official Information Act request received on 28 August 2020. You requested:
“I note this OIA request dated 26 June is long overdue and that you have said you will action
it by 18 September.
Given the lapse in time, I would like to lodge an additional OIA request for all
reports/briefings/communications/notes held by DPMC regarding Mr Rob Fyfe's suggestions
and involvement in the Covid business recovery and his advocacy or any other matters since
the 27 June to today.”
I have decided under section 15A of the Official Information Act to extend the time limit for deciding
on your request by an additional 20 working days.
I note we are awaiting feedback from relevant staff who are working on the response to COVID-19
to confirm if they hold any information relevant to your request. Therefore, this extension is
required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on your request. Despite the
extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
