Dear Michelle,
Official Information Act request: Prime Minister’s overseas travel from 1 January to 10
November 2024
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 25 November
2024. You requested:
“… how many days/nights has the prime minister spent overseas on ministerial
business between 1.1.24 and 10.11.24.”
Information about the Prime Minister’s overseas travel from 1 January to 31 October 2024 is
publicly available on the Beehive website here:
Ministerial diaries. Accordingly, I have
refused the part of your request for the number of days or nights the Prime Minister (PM) has
spent overseas on ministerial business between 1 January and 31 October 2024 under
section 18(d) of the Act – the information requested is or will soon be publicly available.
I can confirm that the PM did not travel overseas between 1 and 10 November 2024.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
Yours sincerely,
Cameron Burrows
Chief of Staff
