Dear Dan,
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 26/11/2024, in which you requested the following information:

Regarding the second briefing you have requested (OC241047 Air Services Agreement with Hungary), the information requested is believed to be more closely connected with the functions of the Associate Minister of Transport's Office. Therefore, your request has been partially transferred to the Associate Minister of Transport's Office for a response under Section 14(b)(ii) of the Act.
You have a right to seek an investigation or review of this decision by the Ombudsman, in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The relevant details can be found on the Ombudsman's website www.ombudsman.parliament.govt.nz.

Dear Simeon Brown (MIN),
I submitted this request on November 26. According to this working day calculator (https://newzealand.workingdays.org/#ap1wd), 15 working days have past since then.
The Ombudsman's guide for agencies states that transfers of requests "promptly, and no later than 10 working days, after the request is received." (https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/site...)
Hence, may I ask why this transfer took so long to take place?
Yours sincerely,
Dan Moskovitz

Dear Simeon Brown (MIN),
Thank you very much for your response to my OIA - I appreciate the time, effort, and mahi which goes into collating these responses.
May I follow up on my question of why the transfer of the other document I requested to Minister Doocey's office was outside the statutory 10 day limit?
Yours sincerely,
Dan Moskovitz
