Name change
Luke made this Official Information request to Ministry of Defence
The request was successful.
From: Luke
Dear Ministry of Defence,
I request the following information under the Official Information Act. In doing so, I confirm I meet the eligibility requirement.
1. Why did the MoD feel it was important to change its name from "Ministry of Defence" to "Manatu Kaupapa Waonga - Ministry of Defence"?
2. Who made the decision to change its name?
3. Was the decision made in consultation with the board, or members of the public?
4. How much did it cost to change?
5. Does the ministry see a possibility that the new name may lead to confusion due to its length? If so, how does the ministry intend to address this?
6. Please provide any correspondence between the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet relating to the decision to change its name.
Yours faithfully,
Luke
