Dear Alex,

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your official information request dated 26 January 2018 requesting:

" On January 17 you released via FYI two of your weekly climate change briefings from officials. They were hugely informative about what's happening in a critical policy area, so I'd like to request some more - specifically all weekly updates to the Minister of Climate Change received during November and December 2017, excluding those already released (Nov 6 and 13)."

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than 26 February 2018, being 20 working days after the day your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,

Dave Butler-Peck | Private Secretary

Kia ora Mr Harris

 

In accordance with section 15A of the OIA, on behalf of the Minister for
Climate Change, I am extending the deadline for response to your OIA
request:

 

On January 17 you released via FYI two of your weekly climate change
briefings from officials. They were hugely informative about what's
happening in a critical policy area, so I'd like to request some more -
specifically all weekly updates to the Minister of Climate Change received
during November and December 2017, excluding those already released (Nov 6
and 13).

 

 This is because consultations necessary to make a decision on the request
are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the
original time limit.

 

The extension will be for 5 working days. We will endeavour to provide you
with the information sooner if we possibly can.  

 

Under section 28(3) of the OIA, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review my decision to extend the deadline for response.

 

Ngā mihi

Georgina
