Thank you for your email of 1 May 2024 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE)
requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
Please supply all correspondence from 1 October 2023 between MBIE and Calibre , and MBIE

I am writing to advise you that MBIE will provide a response but needs to extend the time available to
answer your request. MBIE’s response wil be sent to you no later than 28 June 2024.
The reason for the extension is that your request necessitates a search through a large quantity of
information and consultations with various third parties which are necessary to make a decision on your
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further assistance,
please contact

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our decision to extend the
