Dear Ministry of Housing and Urban Development,
I would like to request the following information under the Official Information Act:
1. What is the budget for all costs associated with the Sir Bill English review of Kāinga Ora?
2. How many ministry staff are working on the review and how many are working on the review full time?
3. How much has already been spent on the review?
4. How much will Sir Bill English and each of the other two reviewers be paid for their work and how will their pay be calculated, e.g. flat fee, hourly rate, expenses. If an hourly rate is being paid, how much will each reviewer be paid per hour?
5. On what date does the Ministry expect to proactively release all cabinet papers and advice on the Sir Bill English review of Kāinga Ora?
If you decide not to release any of this information, why does the Ministry believe there is no public interest in its release?
