Dear Charles Derbyshire
Thank you for your email of 14 October 2022 requesting information relating to Barbara Kuriger
and The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).
MPI wil not be able to respond within the timeframe set out in the Of icial Information Act
1982 (OIA) because your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information. In addition, consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the normal 20 working day
time limit.
Therefore, pursuant to section 15A(1)(a) and 15A(1)(b) of the OIA, MPI is extending the
timeframe to reply to your request. You can expect a response by no later than 15 December
2022, earlier if possible.
Should you have any concerns with this extension, I would encourage you to raise these with the
Ministry for Primary Industries at [email address]. Alternatively, you are
advised of your right to also raise any concerns with the Of ice of the Ombudsman. Contact details
are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143 or at
[email address].
Yours sincerely
Michelle Morehu
Director, Government Services
