Advice on New Zealand's Refugee Quota MFAT

M Stephens made this Official Information request to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

The request was refused by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

From: M Stephens

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act:

* all departmental advice to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
between August 2013 and July 2015 on New Zealand’s Refugee
Resettlement Quota.

If any documents that fall within the scope of my request are to be
withheld in full then I would like the titles and dates of those
documents to be released. I would also prefer that if my request is
expansive enough to trigger a s18(f) refusal that I can be provided
with the titles/dates of the relevant documents so that I can focus
my request forwards particular documents.

Yours faithfully,

M Stephens
