Thank you for contacting Hon Stuart Nash, Minister for Economic and
Regional Development, Minister of Forestry, Minister for Small Business,
Minister of Tourism, and MP for Napier.

The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you
taking the time to write.

processed as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with
you in due course.

·        Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.

·        Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.

·        If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you.

·        If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of
Parliament for Napier, please resend to stuart.nashmp@parliament,govt.nz

Dear Mr Harvey

 

I am writing on behalf of the Office of Minister Nash. Thank you for your
Official Information Act request.

 

I would like to request you to please refine the scope of your request. In
particular can you please further explain the term “social licence” and in
what contexts you expect it has been used? This will assist the Minister
to respond to your request.

 

Can you please respond to this email by Monday 22 November.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

 

Kind regards,

Sam Foster
