Gallery Bookings

George made this Official Information request to Parliamentary Service

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Parliamentary Service should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: George

Dear Parliamentary Service,

Recently I attended sitting time in the house. I was informed a private tour had booked out the public gallery and had to wait some time before being allowed in. I acknowledge Parliamentary Service is not subject to the OIA so i appreciate your time. My question is how often in the previous year has tour groups booked out the gallery and how often are members of the public made to wait.

Yours faithfully,

George Smith
