Mr Matt Taylor

Dear Mr Taylor

Request under the Official Information Act

Thank you for your correspondence on 19 August 2016 requesting information
on Ministerial credit card expenses. You have requested:

1. Con?rmation if two speci?ed transactions were transactions through Uber

I can confirm that these were not transactions through Uber. The transactions
are for transportation to and from Newark Liberty International Airport and
accommodation in New York for Ministerial staff while on ministerial business.

As the receipts in the proactive release show, the transportation was
organised by Kelley?s Luxury Car Service and not Uber. The transactions
were mislabelled on the expense form due to a case of mistaken identity of
the company involved.

Yours sincerely



John Brinsley?Pirie
Of?ce of Hon Peter Dunne
