It has been necessary to withhold certain information in accordance with the following provisions of the Official Information Act 1982. Where information is withheld the relevant sections of the Act are indicated in the body of the document. Where information is withheld under section 9(2) of the Act it is not considered that the public interest outweighs the need to protect it.

Information is withheld where making it available would be likely to prejudice the security or defence of New Zealand or the international relations of the Government of New Zealand [section 6(a)]. Information is also withheld in order to:

• protect the privacy of natural persons [section 9(2)(a)]

• maintain the constitutional conventions that protect for the time being the confidentiality of advice tendered by Ministers of the Crown and officials [section 9(2)(f)(iv)] and

• maintain legal professional privilege [section 9(2)(h)].
