submission to PCO on abortion becoming Health instead of Justice
Stephan Hokke made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
The request was successful.
From: Stephan Hokke
Dear Ministry of Justice,
In 2020 the Parliamentary Counsel Office may have sent you communications on abortion and the extending of the term of abortion beyond 20 weeks. There should have been a request to submit to the PCO on the liabilities, legalities, precedences of turning over the right to abort out of the hands of the Judiciary and into the hands of Health and perhaps in that or another submission your advice on extending the abortion term beyond 20 weeks.
I would like to request the following information under the OIA:
* a copy of your submission(s) to the PCO
* all drafts, advice, and internal communications (including emails) relating to submission(s)
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ subject and in NZ.
Yours faithfully,
Stephan Hokke
