From: Steve
Dear Sport and Recreation New Zealand,
I am writing to request a full breakdown of costs and other information involved in regards to Associate minister for Sport Chris Bishops' recent travel to India with a "delegation of of sporting leaders travel to India as part of efforts to deepen the India/NZ bilateral relationship which is going from strength to strength". (Quoted per Bishops social media accounts).
May I please have a breakdown of the following
1. Can I please have a total cost incurred by the minister and the delegation for travel, accommodation, food, costs to attend sporting events and any miscellaneous expenses incurred.
2. Who were the "sporting leaders" and how many did they number?
3. What was their departure date and arrival date back into New Zealand.
Yours faithfully,
Steve
