Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you requested, and we cannot think of any other agency that would hold it, or whose functions would be more closely connected to it.

I am therefore refusing your request under section 18(g) of the OIA as the information is not held.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
