‘I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act
1982.

I understand that the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet was
responsible for overseeing the activities of the Prime Minister's Business
Advisory Council while Christopher Luxon was the chairperson of that body.

The prime minister has recently said "I'm aware the chair of the Prime
Minister's Business Advisory Council spent money employing consultants to
write the one substantive report the council managed to come up with," I
would like to request the following information:

First, please confirm which report was written by consultants.

Second, please disclose which consultancy firm was used to write the

report.

Third, please disclose how much the consultancy firm was paid to write the

report.

If the Department does not have this information, please disclose the
basis of the Prime Minister's statements regarding the claimed report and
its authorship.’

 

Your request has been transferred to the Ministry of Business, Innovation
and Employment from Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet on 13
March 2023 and is being processed in accordance with the Official
Information Act 1982. A response will be sent to you in due course.
