Dear Ministerial Services,

 

Thank you for your response. In it, you said: "(...) The key elements of
the NZDF’s involvement are firing gun salutes at designated times (...)".

 

Specifically, what are those designated times? Are they likely to coincide
with events in London?

 

Secondly, what does "providing support" entail, when the NZDF is providing
support to the Proclamation of Accession Ceremony?

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Luke

Good afternoon Luke
 
The NZDF supports the wider New Zealand response to the Demise of the
Crown and is one element of the wider plan. The NZDF has been an integral
part of this planning and is preparing for a range of likely tasks. It is
up to the lead agency, however, to provide public details of exactly how
the Government will respond.
 
It appears that you have already addressed questions on this topic to the
Cabinet Office.
