Decision to remove school lunch Cabinet Papers from online

Phoebe Brown made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Phoebe Brown to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Phoebe Brown

Dear Ministry of Education,

Numerous links to the Cabinet Paper (or papers - reference is made across reporting to both March and April papers, though perhaps it is a paper dated March, with decision dated April) relating to the re-design of the school lunches programme are now broken. The Cabinet Paper now cannot be found online.

For example, it was previously available via a link on this page: https://www.labour.org.nz/release_govt_c...

And noted as proactively released in OIA responses that you have provided. For example:

https://web-assets.education.govt.nz/s3f...

Can you please provide the following information:

1. When was the Cabinet Paper/s taken off the website?
2. All correspondence, meeting and call notes, or recollections as to discussions etc about removing the Cabinet Paper/s. This is not limited to internal Ministry conversations, I am also seeking any communications with - for example - the Minister or Associate Minister's offices.

Yours faithfully,

Phoebe Brown

With respect to part 2 of your request;

* All correspondence, meeting and call notes, or recollections as to
discussions etc about removing the Cabinet Paper/s.
