Dear James Webb
Official Information Act request relating to Communications regarding proposal and
appointment of Judith Collins as King's Counsel
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), received
on 15 December 2023. You requested:
“ Please provide all communications between the Prime Minister's Office and the
Governor-General or the Office of the Governor-General regarding the proposal to and
subsequent appointment of Judith Collins to the King's Counsel. ”
I believe that the information you have requested is more closely connected to the functions
of the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Christopher Luxon. Accordingly, I have decided to transfer your
request to the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Christopher Luxon under section 14(b)(i ) of the Act.
The Prime Minister has the usual timeframes under the Act from receipt of this transfer to
make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Amy Teague
