Subject: Official Information request - Residences

 

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

 

I request the following information under the official information act:

 

I wish to know MFATs policy regarding staff who reside in an MFAT owned or
rented residence due to their position (for example the residence of New
Zealand's ambassador to South Korea or the residence of the New Zealand
consul general in Hong Kong).

 

Specifically - are adult children or step children (over 25) of MFAT staff
who live in an MFAT owned or funded residence permitted to live in that
residence also?

 

Are there any limits on how long adult children may live in an MFAT owned
or rented residence inhabited by an MFAT staff member?

 

Are adult children of MFAT staff living in a MFAT owned or rented
residence required to contribute to the costs of the residence (by paying
rent and expenses?)

 

How many adult children of MFAT staff currently reside in an MFAT owned or
rented residence?

 

What is the estimated cost to MFAT to host adult children in MFAT
residences per year?

 

Are official cars or MFAT supplied taxi chits or paid cab or shuttle
expenses used to transport adult children of MFAT staff on any occasion?
If so, what is the total expenditure?

 

What type of agreements or rules does MFAT have for its staff governing
the use of residences? I request copies of any policy documents on this.

 

Has MFAT formally or informally investigated inappropriate usage of
residences over the past five years? What was the outcome of any
investigation?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

P Nielson
