Subject: Official Information request - Ministerial diary for
international travel

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I am getting in touch with a question about the publication of Ministerial
diaries on the Beehive website.

In the previous term of Government, these Ministerial diaries accounted
for all activities undertaken by Ministers - including their overseas
travel. Domestic activities and international activities were published in
the same level of detail which was very useful.

In this current term of Government, I have noticed that Ministerial
diaries now only list "Overseas Travel" with an indication of the days
overseas and there is no further detail provided about what meetings or
engagements the Minister undertook.

I made an OIA request for this information to Minister McClay's office who
pointed me to the proactive release of Cabinet papers reporting back on
the Minister's overseas travel.

While these Cabinet papers include details of the people that the Minister
met with while overseas, they do not show the date of these meetings, the
time of these meetings, the duration of these meetings, or which officials
or other parties were in attendance at these meetings.

In addition, these Cabinet papers have to go through a lengthy proactive
release process in contrast to the Ministerial diaries which are often
uploaded quite soon after the conclusion of each month.

I wanted to ask whether you knew why this change had been made and whether
Ministers are expected to account for their domestic and international
engagements in a consistent way? Is this governed by a standing order or a
speaker's ruling?

You can see the contrast in available information if you look through the
published Ministerial diaries of people like the Foreign Affairs Minister
or the Trade Minister in this Government and then the last few
Governments.

Thanks for your consideration, please let me know if you are not the right
people to be asking.

Yours sincerely,

Anna
