Dear Grace
Thank you for your email of 8 December 2020 requesting information relating to information
linked to inspectors employed from July 2017. Your request has been considered under the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
You requested the following:
Could you please advise which organisation (as in legal entity) each inspector was
employed by in the period from July 2017.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) does not hold information specifically identifying the
legal entity each inspector was employed by. Therefore, this part of your request is refused
under section 18(g) of the OIA.
As warrants need to be renewed, we wish to know the dates when each licence was
issued and expired and the date of renewal for each of the inspectors that renewals
apply to and for all period from the time of first being issued
Please see below for the dates of each appointment for the Animal Welfare Inspectors
named in your previous request (OIA20-0693).
