I refer to your email of 30 January 2024 in which you request the following under the Official
Information Act 1982 (OIA):
Can I instead please receive a list of titles of advice that have been received by the
Minister since 8 October, and the date they were sent?
A decision has been made on your request. The information you requested is being prepared for
release and will be sent to you as soon as practicable. Thank you for your patience while this
process is completed.
We will withhold some information under the following sections of the OIA:
•
6(a): to avoid prejudicing the security or defence of New Zealand or the international
relations of the New Zealand Government; and
•
9(2)(f)(iv): to protect the confidentiality of advice tendered by Ministers of the Crown and
officials.
Where the information has been withheld under section 9 of the OIA, we have identified no
public interest in releasing the information that would override the reasons for withholding it.
If you have any questions about this decision, you can contact us by email at:
[email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of this decision by contacting
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone
