Dear Prime Minister,

On Monday 15 May 2017, during an interview with Guyon Espiner on Radio New Zealand, you gave an undertaking to conduct an audit into ministerial decisions made by Alfred Ngaro, to determine whether any such decisions had been based on the political views of people or agencies seeking government funding.

Accordingly, under the terms of the Official Information Act, I request information on the following matters pertaining to that audit:

(1) Who was appointed to conduct this audit?
(2) Under what terms of reference was the audit to be conducted?
(3) When was the audit scheduled to be completed?
(4) If the audit has been completed,
(4a) What information was reviewed and sources interviewed?
(4b) What were its conclusions?
(4c) What actions were taken as a result?
(4d) How have the findings been disseminated?

Yours sincerely,

Michael MacAskill

Dear Mr Eagleson and Ms Boyle,

Yours sincerely,

Michael MacAskill
