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

Subject: Official Information request - Section 7 NZBORA Reports

 

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
