Dear Regan Gibbons, 
 
Thank you for your Of icial Information Act 1982 (OIA) request, transferred to this office 
on 3 February 2024.  The request was for: 
 
Al  advice or communications received by your office regarding the Government's 
decision to suspend funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency 
 
I understand that you have also made this request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 
Trade. 
 
Ordinarily,  I would transfer your request to the Ministry, as the information you have 
requested is more closely connected with its functions (section 14(b)(i) of the OIA refers). 
However, as the Ministry already has your request, I refer you to the Ministry’s response.  
 
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision 
by contacting www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602. 
 
 
Yours sincerely, 
 
 
 
 
 
Jamie Allen 
Private Secretary (Advisory/Media)
