Dear A Chela

On 19 May you emailed the Ministry requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following information:

o A list of all briefings relating to the housing portfolio.

The Ministry has decided to grant your request in part. However, it will
take some time to prepare this information for release.

 

Some titles will be withheld under the following grounds of the Act:

 

·         Section 9(2)(a) of the Act in order to protect the privacy of
natural persons.

·         Section 9(2)(f)(iv) of the Act as they are under active
consideration. The release of this information is likely to prejudice the
ability of government to consider advice and the wider public interest of
effective government would not be served.

·         Section 9(2)(j) of the Act to enable the Ministry to carry on,
without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and
industrial negotiations). The greater public interest is in ensuring that
government agencies can continue to negotiate without prejudice.

The information will be sent to you by 25 July 2018.

 

If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact
[1][MSD request email]

 

If you are not satisfied with this decision, you have the right to seek an
investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a
complaint is available at [2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz  or 0800 802 602.

 

Yours sincerely
