Labour is calling on the Auditor-General to formally audit the office of the Prime Minister's record-keeping and Official Information Act practices.

It comes after the Chief Ombudsman confirmed the focus of his investigation following a complaint about the way PMO handled an OIA request.

RNZ had reported a complaint was being investigated regarding the "apparent withholding" of official information, following the revelation of a previously undisclosed document handed to a senior staffer that should have been captured by the request.
