On behalf of Hon Chris Penk, thank you for your correspondence.

 
While Hon Chris Penk considers all correspondence to be important, and
every message is carefully read and considered, it is not always possible
to reply personally to all emails.  As such, the following guidelines
apply: 
 
If you are a constituent in the Kaipara ki Mahurangi electorate getting in
touch about a local issue, please email
[1][email address] and the electorate office team will get
back to you.
 
Invitations and meeting requests will be considered as soon as possible,
and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course.
 
If your email message falls outside of Hon Penk's portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.
 
Requests for Official Information and requests made under the Privacy Act
will be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official
Information Act 1982 and Privacy Act 2020 respectively.
 
Thank you, again, for taking the time to write.
 
 
Kind regards,
 
Office of Hon Chris Penk

Hi Erika
Thanks for this.
I don't still have copies of any of the old reports, but hopefully these
can be found within the system somewhere.

I would recommend you ask the question of the Regulations Review Committee
(email to [1][email address]), rather than an
official information act request as Parliament select committees are
separate from the remit of that legislation.

Hope you're well and best wishes finding what you seek!
Kind regards
Hon Chris Penk MP

Dear Chris Penk,

I request the "Report of the Regulations Review Committee" from  1 Feb
2022 - 30 March 2022 for ay covid-19 legislation. I believe you were the
chairperson for these committee meetings. Unfortunately the Hansard does
not appear to public  these reports from the previous parliament, eg this
page for "Reports
Home Parliamentary Business Select committees Reports" has no reports:
[2]https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www3...

I know ther ewas one report called "Examination of COVID-19 orders
presented between 9 and 21
December 2021:
 COVID-19 Public Health Response
(Specified Work Vaccinations) Order
2021
 COVID-19 Public Health Response
(Maritime Border) (No 2) Amendment
Order (No 3) 2021
 COVID-19 Public Health Response
(Protection Framework) Amendment
Order (No 2) 2021

Report of the Regulations Review Committee
February 2022"

I request them all under the act in early 2022 as per the date range above
Yours faithfully,

Erika Whittome

request.
