Section 7 NZBORA Reports

Luke made this Official Information request to David Parker

The request was successful.

From: Luke

Dear David Parker,

1. How long after a government bill is introduced into the House of Representatives, does the Attorney-General typically release his section 7 report?

Please note I am not asking for the legal requirement under s 7(a) of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, but rather, the actual average time it has taken for David Parker to release a section 7 report on a government bill.

2. As the Water Services Entities Bill is a government bill that was introduced into the House on 2 June, why was a section 7 report not released on that same day as required by s 7(a) NZBORA?

3. When does the Attorney-General expect to release his section 7 report on the Water Services Entities Bill?

Yours faithfully,

Luke

Thank you for contacting the office of Hon David Parker, Attorney General,
Minister for the Environment, Minister for Oceans and Fisheries, Minister
of Revenue, and Associate Minister of Finance.

Please note that as Minister Parker receives large amounts of
correspondence, it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.

The following guidelines apply:

⒋         Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and
responded to where appropriate.

⒋         If your email is an invitation or request to meet with the
Minister, your request will be processed and a staff member will be in
contact in due course. As the Minister receives a high volume of
invitations, it is not always possible to respond immediately.

⒋         Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.

⒋         Requests for official information will be managed in
accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which
may include a transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.　

⒋         If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, your correspondence may be transferred to another
office.

⒋         If your email expresses a personal view, or is copied to
multiple Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and there
may be no further response.
