information relating to previous request - Regulatory Standards Bill

Aaron W made this Official Information request to David Seymour

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

From: Aaron W

Kia ora Minister Seymour,

please provide all information pertaining to the response to this request: https://fyi.org.nz/request/31208-all-inf...

This request is intended to cover all commissioning, discussion about response etc. This would also include information which is known to an agency but has not yet been written down (so discussions between office staff). Please provide a record of all discussions relating to this request.

I am interested in why this took 20 days to respond to and to decide that this information didn't exist.

I am also interested in confirmation that as Minister, you hold no information confirming public support for the Regulatory Standards Bill? That seems surprising given the large amount of media on this support which presumably has brought with it correspondence to your Office. It also seems crazy to say that there is a mandate for this Bill when you don't have any evidence to support this.

Can I also please request all talking points, preparatory material, media briefings to support your appearance with RNZ: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/5629...

Yours faithfully,

Aaron W
