3) A copy of all submissions received in response to the Ministry's recent consultation on Commitment 7 of New Zealand's fourth National Action Plan as a member of the Open Government Partnership.

Under section 16 of the Official Information Act, our preferences are (a) to receive a copy of the whole of each document (b) that the information is disclosed in a text searchable format, either Word or PDF, (c) that it does not have a watermark of ‘Released under the Official Information Act’ or similar across the text and (d) that it is sent to the email address from which the Ministry received this request.
