On behalf of the Ministry for the Environment, I acknowledge receipt of
your email of 31 July 2015, requesting the following information:
 
I would like to know the budget and costs for the climate change target
consultation.
Can you provide a broad breakdown rather than just a total showing,
Publications Workshops Travel and accomodation Consultants and staffing
 
Your request will be considered according to the provisions of the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) and you will receive a response as
soon as is reasonably practicable.
 
In regards to your request for:
 
Can you also provide a similar breakdown for the cost of consultation on
the change of flag.
The information on the change of flag relates most closely to the

Dear Chris Blythe,

On Monday 3 August 2015, the Ministry for the Environment transferred to the Electoral Commission part of your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request relating to the breakdown for the cost of consultation on the change of flag.

However, the Electoral Commission is not responsible for the consultation on the flag.

If the New Zealand Flag Referendum Bill 2015 is passed, the Electoral Commission will be responsible for conducting the flag referendums. However, public consultation has been undertaken by the Flag Consideration Panel which has been provided support and advice by a project secretariat located within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

Accordingly, I have transferred this aspect of your OIA request to Cabinet Office for action in accordance with section 14 of the OIA.

Yours sincerely

Kristina Temel
Electoral Commission
