Dear Alex Harris
We have just noticed on the FYI website your requests to us of 18 August and 28 September 2018 for information relating to Thompson and Clark Investigations. We sincerely apologise for not responding to them at the time they were posted but unfortunately they did not come to our attention until now.
We can confirm that we provided the following information to the State Services Commission inquiry into the circumstances of, and reasons for, any engagement by Crown agencies of external security consultants including but not limited to Thompson & Clark Investigations Limited (TCIL):
"In response to this inquiry Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research interrogated its contracts and financial databases and found no mention of TCIL or related parties. Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research’s Chief Executive also has no knowledge of Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research using security contractors for anything other than routine site security after-hours, and ICT security advice."
Yours sincerely
Pamela Pye
Legal Counsel
Landcare Research New Zealand Limited
