Subject: Official Information request: Effects of freezing student allowance parental income threshold

Dear Ministry of Education,

Today the government announced that it was freezing the parental
income threshold for student allowances. I would like to request
the following information under the Official Information Act 1982:

* any estimate of the effects of this on the number of future
student allowance recipients over the next five years
* any estimate of the amount of money expected to be saved by this
measure over the next five years
* the primary advice document (cabinet paper, briefing to the
Minister etc) relating to the decision to freeze the parental
income threshold.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about
this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the
fyi.org.nz website.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
