full copy of the BRI memorandum of arrangement.”

 

A full copy of the BRI memorandum is publicly available, found using the
below link:

Consequently, this part of your request is refused under section 18(d), as
the information requested is publically available.

 

This letter is to advise that the timeframe for responding to the
remainder of your request is being extended by 10 working days, to 18 May
2023. This is because consultations necessary to make a decision on your
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within
the original time frame (section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA refers).

 

However, if this process is completed before 18 May 2023, the response
will be sent to you as soon as possible.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision by contacting [3]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone
0800 802 602.
