Documents relating to my request for evidence of compliance with section 36(1) of Crown Entities Act requirement to advise entity directly of exercise of power
Harris Leigh made this Official Information request to David Parker
The request was partially successful.
From: Harris Leigh
Dear Minister for the Environment,
On 2 March 2023 I requested a copy of your written notice to the Chief Executive of the Environmental Protection Authority as required under s36(1) of the Crown Entities Act 2004 including time and date it was sent along with other documents.
By law you were required to respond by 30 March 2023. You have declined to do so.
I seek copies of all documentation held by yourself and your office, including held by your ministerial advisers and press secretary, relating to this request and your decision not to comply with the law with respect to it.
Please note, if you do provide a response to my earlier request outside the timeframe provided for by the law, such a response would not extinguish this request.
This request is seeking information relating to your decision to decline to comply with your legal obligations.
Yours faithfully,
Harris Leigh

Thank you for contacting the office of Hon David Parker, Attorney General,
Minister for the Environment, Minister of Revenue, and Associate Minister
of Finance.
Please note that as Minister Parker receives large amounts of
correspondence, it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.
The following guidelines apply:
* Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to
where appropriate.
* If your email is an invitation or request to meet with the Minister,
your request will be processed and a staff member will be in contact
in due course. As the Minister receives a high volume of invitations,
it is not always possible to respond immediately.
* Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
* Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
a transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, your correspondence may be transferred to another
office.
* If your email expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and there may
be no further response.
