Dear John
Thank you for your email of 8 November 2022 requesting information relating to the
appointment of
a
Member to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. Your request is being considered
under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
The Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) is transferring your request in full to the Office of Associate
Minister for Agriculture (Animal Welfare), Hon Meka Whaitiri, for response.
Your request is being transferred under section 14(b)(ii) of the OIA, because the information you
are seeking, I believe, is more closely connected with the functions of the Office.
Should you have any concerns with this transfer, 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 Office of the Ombudsman. Contact details
are: Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143 or at
info@ombudsman. parliament. nz.
Yours sincerely
Mic elle
