Subject: Official Information request - Historical Cabinet Minutes

Kia ora Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I understand Cabinet Minutes are generally classified unless released by someone with the appropriate authority.

1. How far back do you hold historical cabinet minutes?
2. How would you make decisions about releasing historical cabinet minutes? e.g. If all the Ministers of a historical cabinet are deceased or long since retired, would that impact your decision on the release of minutes?
3. I understand your website has a "publications" section, unfortunately that's dated based on when something is released, is there a chronological list of cabinet meetings that have had minutes released?

Ngā mihi,
Lance Watson
