Luke Howison made this Official Information request to The Treasury

The request was successful.

From: Luke Howison

Dear The Treasury,

I would like to request the following information about the National Infrastructure Unit under the OIA:

* How many government departments or agencies have contacted the National Infrastructure Unit (NIU) to discuss potential Public-Private-Partnerships (as required by a 2010 policy for all projects involving the procurement of assets worth more than $25 million)?

* The infrastructure.govt.nz website describes the NIU's role as including, "act as a secretariat for" the National Infrastructure Advisory Board. It also states that the NIAB provides the NIU with "advice and perspectives on infrastructure project appraisal". What access to NIAB board members have to the ordinary day-to-day communications of the National Infrastructure Unit?

* More specifically, do members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Board (NIAB) have access to information (including verbal discussions) regarding potential Public-Private-Partnerships as discussed with other government departments?

* What remuneration do NIAB board members receive (either per year or per meeting)?

* What is the procedure for declaring conflicts of interests relating to NIAB board members?

* What is the procedure for dealing with declared conflicts of interests relating to NIAB board members?

* Have any declarations of conflicts of interest have been recorded for NIAB board members,; if so, what were those conflicts of interest?

* Have any NIAB board members recused themselves from decisions or votes during board meetings for reasons of conflicts of interest?

I would prefer to receive an electronic response.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Luke Howison

Well, it's all pretty vague, but technically they did address all my questions. It'll have to do.
