Tēnā koe Daryl,

The information you have requested is not held by the Department of Internal Affairs. It will likely be held by the Office of the Clerk, which is not subject to the Official Information Act.

Maiden speeches in the House are recorded by Hansard, and should be on-line on the Parliament website. It is possible that the oaths are taken verbally. You will need to contact the Office of the Clerk to enquire further.

Contact information is available here: https://www.parliament.nz/en/footer/cont...

[So you are saying there is no signed copies of an oath of office for MP? So if there's no written Oaths then there's no contract it appears]

I beleive the oaths were repealed under the Secondary Legislation Act 2021.You would know that would you not?
