Tēnā koe,

Thank you for contacting the office of Hon Peeni Henare - MP for Tāmaki
Makaurau, Minister of Defence, Minister for Whānau Ora, Associate Minister

appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may be transferred to another office for consideration.

Dear Harold,

 

I refer to your information request date 24 May 2022 for reports received
about Russia-Ukraine conflict.

 

We have transferred part of your request to the Department of Prime
Minister and Cabinet (DPMC). Part of the information to which your request
relates, namely “29/03/2022 “NZDF Intelligence Support to European
Partners’” is believed to be more closely connected with the functions of
DPMC. In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the OIA to
transfer your request.

 

You will hear from DPMC concerning that part of your request.

 

Ngā mihi,
