requesting information concerning a third party under the Of icial Information Act 1982 (the
Act). Specifically, you requested:

Despite the Ministry’s attempts to clarify your request with you on 7 August 2024 and 15
August 2024, we have not received a response.
I must therefore decline your request under section 9(2)(a) of the Act, to protect the privacy
of natural persons.
The Ministry would be happy to reconsider your request, with appropriate clarification.
If you require any further information, please contact Media & Social Media Manager Joe
Locke at [email address]
If you are not satisfied with this response, you have the right to make a complaint to the
Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. The Ombudsman may be contacted by phone
