Dear Mr Ryan

 

On 23 October 2013, the Minister of Justice, Hon Judith Collins, referred
your request for official information to the Minister of Revenue, Hon Todd
McClay, as the collection of student loans falls within his ministerial
portfolio. 

 

You have asked:

 

     In light of the Amendments to the student loan scheme that will allow
for inland revenue to issue an arrest warrant that will be used to arrest
defaulting overseas based borrowers at New Zealand

     borders, will there be a need or is there any consideration in the
future for debtors prisons?

    

     If yes, where will the prisons be situated or will the convicted
criminals be incarcerated with the rest of the convicted and sentenced
criminals?

 

This is to let you know that your request was received by the Minister of
Revenue on 24 October 2013.  A response will be sent in due course.

 

 

Kind regards

 

Rachel Clarke

Private Secretary (Revenue)
