Kia ora C. Bennett,

 

I refer to your official information request dated Tuesday 24 September
(OIA069) requesting 10 briefings.

 

The Office of Andrew Hoggard will not be able to respond to the OIA in
accordance with section 15A(1)(a) as your request is for a large quantity
of information and meeting the normal 20 day working limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the office.

 

Your request will be responded to no later than Tuesday 5 November.

 

Kind regards,
