Kia ora,
We are reaching out to seek clarification on your OIA.
You asked “Please supply all reports, briefings, white papers,
notes/emails and Cabinet minutes which refer to both 'digital identity'
and 'biometric' data, emailed/received by the Hon David Clark from both
internal agencies, and external contracted/non-contracted
organisations/institutions during 2022.”
Do you request documents that refer to both ‘digital identity’ and
‘biometric’ data in the same document? Or documents that refer to either
‘digital identity’ or ‘biometric’ data?
Please advise on the above as soon as possible and we will compile an
answer to your request.
Many thanks,
Sarah
