the public domain, for example, on websites including the Ministry’s own
website.
The principles and purposes of the Official Information Act 1982 under which
you made your request are:
•
to create greater openness and transparency about the plans, work
and activities of the Government,
•
to increase the ability of the public to participate in the making and
administration of our laws and policies and
•
to lead to greater accountability in the conduct of public affairs.
This Ministry fully supports those principles and purposes.

investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make
